Trouble's over, found a four-leaf clover
And a horseshoe right outside my door
Old man gloom has given up his room
As Lady luck has courted me once more
My face can't grow long, gave blues the so-long
Great days are now in store

Heigh-ho! Yay-bo! Good times are comin'
Good times are comin', so cheer up
Let's be carefree and start a-hummin'
Then all your troubles will clear up

Make life a song and a dance**
Give care a swift kick in the pants**
Just yell, then tell the world you're happy
Good times are comin', so cheer, cheer up



** Alternate lyrics for these two lines as 
recorded by Roger Wolfe Kahn & His Orch.

Soon brighter days will be found
Give all your cares the runaround
