I've got a creed for every need, so easy that it must succeed
I'll set it down for you to read, so please, take heed.
Keep out the gloom. Let in the sun. That's my advice for everyone.
It's only once we pass this way, so day by day,
Even though the darkest clouds are in the sky, when things go wrong well you mustn't cry.
Spread a little happiness as you go by. Please try.
What's the use of worrying and feeling blue? When days are long, keep on smiling through
Spread a little happiness till dreams come true. Surely you'll be
wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize it may be Monday or next Tuesday - your golden shoes day?
Never let the rain clouds spoil a perfect sky, here's the thought that you must apply.
Spread a little happiness as you go by.
VERSE 2
The rule is old, so I've been told, but still it's worth its weight in gold.
It pays you back a thousand fold, so be enrolled
Upon the lists of optimists and disregard the pessimists.
This life is short, so try to smile, each little while. Chorus
verse 3
Keep smiling through each thing you do and happiness you must accrue.
It's something that's both tried and true for me and you.
Let me advise, you must surprise, it's most unwise to compromise.
When things look bad just close your eyes and improvise. Chorus
