CARRY ON

(Jack O’Hagan, Girvan Dundas)


As recorded by:
Ambassadors Twelve, Dir. Jay Wilbur
V. Cavan O’Connor
Recorded 22nd January 1932



When you’re blue just carry on
Troubles are only bubbles and fade away
Smile and simply carry on
Where there’s a smile no sorrow can ever stay
Even in the darkest hour
Remember the night is followed by the dawn
Whenever you feel blue
Here’s what you’ve got to do
Carry on, carry on, carry on

(By the left, quick march)
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
And the first grasshopper jumped 
right over the other grasshopper’s legs 

When you’re blue just carry on
Troubles are only bubbles and fade away
Smile and simply carry on
Where there’s a smile no sorrow can ever stay
Even in the darkest hour
Remember the night is followed by the dawn
Whenever you feel blue
Here’s what you’ve got to do
Carry on, carry on, carry on
