Let The World Go Drifting By 1933 'Britannia of Billingsgate'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 02 Jan 2003

Luck and I were strangers,
we passed each other by,
then I smiled, and Luck said:
"How do you do?"
Tho' I have my worries,
I don't sit and sigh,
one fine day my dreams
will all come true.

Let the world go drifting by,
the moon, the stars, the sky,
let them all go drifting by,
what do I care?
Let the world roll on its way,
the clouds be dark and grey,
with a smile I'll live each day,
what do I care?
Fate will be kind,
just laugh when things go wrong,
love you will find,
for life is like a song:
I can build my castles high,
my star is in the sky,
let the world go drifting by,
what do I care?

Let the world go drifting by,
the moon, the stars, the sky,
let them all go drifting by,
what do I care?
Let the world roll on its way,
the clouds be dark and grey,
with a smile I'll live each day,
what do I care?
Fate will be kind,
just laugh when things go wrong,
love you will find,
for life is like a song:
I can build my castles high,
my star is in the sky,
let the world go drifting by,
what do I care?

Always in the shadows,
never in the sun,
that is what my fate appears to be;
yet from early morning
till the day is done,
I will smile till trouble sets me free.

Let the world go drifting by,
the moon, the stars, the sky,
let them all go drifting by,
what do I care?
Let the world roll on its way,
the clouds be dark and grey,
with a smile I'll live each day,
what do I care?
Fate will be kind,
just laugh when things go wrong,
love you will find,
for life is like a song:
I can build my castles high,
my star is in the sky,
let the world go drifting by,
what do I care?

Let the world go drifting by,
the moon, the stars, the sky,
let them all go drifting by,
what do I care?
Let the world roll on its way,
the clouds be dark and grey,
with a smile I'll live each day,
what do I care?
Fate will be kind,
just laugh when things go wrong,
love you will find,
for life is like a song:
I can build my castles high,
my star is in the sky,
let the world go drifting by,
what do I care?
