LET THE WORRY BIRD WORRY FOR YOU
(Leo Robin / Jule Styne)


(Sung & danced by the 4 female leads in the 1951 movie “Two Tickets To Broadway”)

Everyone has his share of care and woe
Even in Lovers Lane there’s rain and snow
We all have to pay the piper
So why be a gloomy griper
Forget regret, don’t let it get you low, no

Let the worry bird worry for you
Let the worry bird fuss and stew
He’s a wonderful pet
And when you get the jitters, he twitters
Let the worry bird worry his head
Have the time of your life instead
What’s a tumble or two
As long as you can keep well, sleep well

Every cloud is silver-lined, bear that in mind
When old man trouble gets tough 
And the going gets rough
Let the worry bird worry for you
It’s remarkable what he’ll do
He’ll consider it fun to be your understudy
So buddy, why should you be blue?
Let the worry bird sing the blues for you
