MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG
From the Merrie Melodies Cartoon "Billboard Frolics" (1935)
(Charlie Tobias / Murray Mencher / Eddie Cantor)

Too many frowns can change the brightest disposition
As sure as clouds are dark in the storm
Get ev'ry joy in life has been our one ambition
And that's how we intend to go on

Merrily we roll along, my honey and me
Verily there's no one half as happy as we
Though we're twice as poor as mice, say, what do we care
For we've been so wealthy in the love that we share

Merrily we dance along while facing the sun
Merrily our slogan is "Say, don't we have fun'
We live in style with a smile and a song
As we merrily roll along

Merrily we roll along, my honey and me
Why we get along is very easy to see
She and I won't buy unless we pay for it cash
And we still enjoy the thrill of corned beef and hash

Though we often quarrel for it's human, I'm sure
Still we find there's nothing that a kiss cannot cure
We're for each other, how can we go wrong
As we merrily roll along
