Spread A Little Happiness 1938 'Mister Cinders'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 21 Sep 2003

I've got a creed for ev'ry 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 to ev'ry one.
It's only once we pass this way,
so day by day;

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky,
you mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry;
just 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;
and spread a little happiness
till dreams come true.
Surely you'll be wise to make
the best of ev'ry Blues day;
don't you realise you'll find
next Monday or next Tuesday
Your Golden Shoes day?
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky,
you mustn't sigh, and you mustn't cry;
just spread a little happiness as you go by!

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky,
you mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry;
just spread a little happiness as you go by.
Please try!

keep on smiling through;
and spread a little happiness

next Monday or next Tuesday
Your Golden Shoes day?
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky,
you mustn't sigh, and you mustn't cry;
just spread a little happiness as you go by!

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 enroll'd
upon the lists of optimists
and disregard the pessimists.
This life is short, so try to smile
each little while.

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky,
you mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry;
just spread a little happiness as you go by.
Please try!
