Make Yourself A Happiness Pie 1930

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 28 May 2002

Smiling is the latest thing in style,
So cheer up and wear a big broad smile.
If you want to be happy,
listen closely to me,
If you want to be happy,
follow this recipe:

Take a cup and a half of sunbeams,
pour them in to a deep blue sky,
add a couple o' drops of love dreams,
and make yourself a happiness pie,
take a spoonful of pleasant weather,
any June day will qualify,
stir the mixture all up together,
and make yourself a happiness pie.
Remember four and twenty blackbirds
one day were baked into a pie,
but just forget about the blackbirds
with the blue birds so close by.
Have a filling of hugs and kisses,
with a sweetness to satisfy,
for you don't know what love and bliss is
till you make yourself a happiness pie.

Take a cup and a half of sunbeams,
pour them in to a deep blue sky,
add a couple o' drops of love dreams,
and make yourself a happiness pie,
take a spoonful of pleasant weather,
any June day will qualify,
stir the mixture all up together,
and make yourself a happiness pie.
Remember four and twenty blackbirds

but just forget about the blackbirds
with the blue birds so close by.
Have a filling of hugs and kisses,
with a sweetness to satisfy,
for you don't know what love and bliss is
till you make yourself a happiness pie.

There's no reason why you should feel blue,
Love's in season, happiness is too.
If you're feelin' so low down,
lucky breaks are so few,
If you're feelin' so low down,
here's the best thing to do.

Take a cup and a half of sunbeams,
pour them in to a deep blue sky,
add a couple o' drops of love dreams,
and make yourself a happiness pie,
take a spoonful of pleasant weather,
any June day will qualify,
stir the mixture all up together,
and make yourself a happiness pie.
