'T'ain't 1933

Now I admire an optimist,
tho' very very few are,
you can always find someone that's
much worse off than you are.
So if a brighter scene you'd paint,
try a little word called: "'T'ain't."

'T'ain't so funny when you're hard up.
'T'ain't so funny when you're down.
'T'ain't so funny when a card's up:
"House for Sale in Town."
'T'ain't a bit of use to grumble,
'T'ain't a bit of use to cry.
'T'ain't so hard to put a smile on,
and let the world go by.

'T'ain't so funny when you're hard up.
'T'ain't so funny when you're down.
'T'ain't so funny when a card's up:
"House for Sale in Town."
'T'ain't a bit of use to grumble,
'T'ain't a bit of use to cry.
'T'ain't so hard to put a smile on,
and let the world go by.

Now if you're not impressed with
what I've just now advocated,
next time you're depressed
and feel you'd like to be elated,
just you try this remedy,
and I think that you'll agree.

'T'ain't so funny when you're hard up.
'T'ain't so funny when you're down.
'T'ain't so funny when a card's up:
"House for Sale in Town."
'T'ain't a bit of use to grumble,
'T'ain't a bit of use to cry.
'T'ain't so hard to put a smile on,
and let the world go by.

'T'ain't so funny when you're hard up.
'T'ain't so funny when you're down.
'T'ain't so funny when a card's up:
"House for Sale in Town."
'T'ain't a bit of use to grumble,
'T'ain't a bit of use to cry.
'T'ain't so hard to put a smile on,
and let the world go by.
