The Happiest Birthday In The World
[JOE BRADY, JERRY MOUSE]

If you worry, if you worry
If you bother your head (I do)
It won't help you, it won't help you
It will hurt you instead (It will?)
Grouchers, groaners, cranks and moaners
They're so unfair (I know)
If you can't be gay and merry
Lock yourself in solitary
Though it hurts you, though it hurts you
Be a pleasanter guy
You may even learn to like it
If you give it a try (I'll try)
You could laugh and sing and dance
As gaily as an elf
But don't expect to get much help
If you don't help yourself
Will you try? (If you'll show me)
I'll show you (I'll try)
Good! One, two, three, four (One, two, three, four)
One, two, three (One, two, three)
La-la-la-la-la-la (La-la-la-la-la-la)
You see? (It's easy)

[Dance Interlude]

Look at me! I'm dancing!
