Let A Smile Be Your Umbrella On A Rainy Day 1927

Once I met a happy little bluebird
I was just as blue as I could be,
in a little while
I began to smile,
when he sang this merry song to me.

Just let a smile be your umbrella
on a rainy, rainy day,
and if your sweetie cries
just tell her that a smile
will always pay.
Whenever skies are grey
don't worry or fret,
a smile will bring the sunshine
and you'll never get wet
so let a smile be your umbrella
on a rainy, rainy day!

Just let a smile be your umbrella
on a rainy, rainy day,
and if your sweetie cries
just tell her that a smile
will always pay.
Whenever skies are grey
don't worry or fret,
a smile will bring the sunshine
and you'll never get wet
so let a smile be your umbrella
on a rainy, rainy day!

As I listened to that happy bluebird
I soon learned his smart philosophy,
on my window sill
he began to trill,
this is what he had to say to me.

Just let a smile be your umbrella
on a rainy, rainy day,
and if your sweetie cries
just tell her that a smile
will always pay.
Whenever skies are grey
don't worry or fret,
a smile will bring the sunshine
and you'll never get wet
so let a smile be your umbrella
on a rainy, rainy day!

Just let a smile be your umbrella
on a rainy, rainy day,
and if your sweetie cries
just tell her that a smile
will always pay.
Whenever skies are grey
don't worry or fret,
a smile will bring the sunshine
and you'll never get wet
so let a smile be your umbrella
on a rainy, rainy day!
