WHY WORRY?
(Ralph Edwards / John Saxton)

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with orchestra conducted by George Cates
February 15th 1952 Los Angeles


Why worry, why worry?
Worry gets you nowhere at all!
When the sky is darkest, never despair,
Find that silver linin' for there's always one there!
For why worry, why worry?
Everything may be okay.
Now you think your trouble's lyin' ahead,
Just forget to worry, count your blessings instead!
So why worry, why worry?
Worry gets you nowhere at all!

Why worry, why worry?
Worry gets you nowhere at all!
Next time you're in bed with the measles or flu,
Thank your lucky star it's not pneumonia too!
But don't worry, don't worry,
While there's life there's always hope!
Worry cannot cure you, that makes you worse,
Once you start to worry you can order the hearse!
So why worry, why worry?Worry gets you nowhere at all!
