When troubles trouble you
Sing, baby sing
Do like the birdies do
Sing, baby sing
When cold winter comes
And they are all out of crumbs
Why the poor little birdies
They ain’t eatin’
But they’re tweet, tweet, tweetin’
Oh, ho, ho don’t you know
A song a day
Keeps mean old mister gloom away
Hard luck don’t like music
With that certain swing
So swing as you sing, baby sing.

When troubles trouble you
Sing, baby sing
Do like the birdies do
Sing, baby sing
When cold winter comes
And they are all out of crumbs
Why the poor little birdies
They ain't eatin'
But they're tweet, tweet, tweetin'
Oh, ho, ho don't you know
A song a day
Keeps mean old mister gloom away
Hard luck don't like music
With that certain swing
So swing as you sing, baby sing.

ALICE FAYE sang the following opening verses:


I was raised by a Harlem mamie
Nothing phased my Harlem mamie
She sang all day long
Nothing stopped her song

People say while I got music
Nothing worries me
If you aim to be the same
Here's my recipe
