Ev'ry time you feel inclined
to grumble and to grouse,
take this little tip from me.
Treat your troubles as you would
a cobweb in your house,
it's an easy as can be.

Buy yourself a broom and
sweep your troubles away,
start in today
sweep them away.
Don't waste the whole day pining,
sweep until you find the silver lining.
Just bear in mind
the sooner you start,
you'll find the sooner
clouds will depart.
So buy yourself a broom
and sweep your troubles away,
and let the sunshine
into your heart.

Buy yourself a broom and
sweep your troubles away,
start in today
sweep them away.
Don't waste the whole day pining,
sweep until you find the silver lining.
Just bear in mind
the sooner you start,
you'll find the sooner
clouds will depart.
So buy yourself a broom
and sweep your troubles away,
and let the sunshine
into your heart.

Ev'ry heart is like a house
where thoughts as tenants dwell,
happy tenants pay the best.
So to get the rest to quit
and gloominess dispel,
put this method to the test.

Buy yourself a broom and
sweep your troubles away,
start in today
sweep them away.
Don't waste the whole day pining,
sweep until you find the silver lining.
Just bear in mind
the sooner you start,
you'll find the sooner
clouds will depart.
So buy yourself a broom
and sweep your troubles away,
and let the sunshine
into your heart.

Buy yourself a broom and
sweep your troubles away,
start in today
sweep them away.
Don't waste the whole day pining,
sweep until you find the silver lining.
Just bear in mind
the sooner you start,
you'll find the sooner
clouds will depart.
So buy yourself a broom
and sweep your troubles away,
and let the sunshine
into your heart.
