Things Are Looking Up 1937 'A Damsel In Distress'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 08 Aug 2003

If I should suddenly start to sing
or stand on my head or anything,
don't think that I've lost my senses;
it's just that my happiness finally commences.
The long, long ages of dull despair
are turning into thin air,
and it seems that suddenly I've
become the happiest man alive.

Things are looking up!
I've been looking the landscape over
and it's covered in four leaf clover.
Oh, things are looking up
since love looked up at me.
Bitter was my cup,
but no more will I be the mourner,
for I've certainly turned the corner.
Oh, things are looking up
since love looked up at me.
See the sunbeams!
Ev'ryone beams just because of you.
Love's in season,
and my depression is unmistakably through.
Things are looking up!
It's a great little world we live in!
Oh, I'm happy as a pup
since love looked up at me.

Things are looking up!
I've been looking the landscape over
and it's covered in four leaf clover.
Oh, things are looking up
since love looked up at me.
Bitter was my cup,
but no more will I be the mourner,
for I've certainly turned the corner.
Oh, things are looking up
since love looked up at me.
See the sunbeams!
Ev'ryone beams just because of you.
Love's in season,
and my depression is unmistakably through.
Things are looking up!
It's a great little world we live in!
Oh, I'm happy as a pup
since love looked up at me.
