Don't Worry, Be Happy

Going on in my mind is asking this question:
What with all this Coroner Virus going around bringing about gambling with possible death every time one goes outside the house.
This with all the terrible news regarding job redundancies and far too many concerns in our lives either because of the Virus or all the other things in life it is possible to worry about.
I ask the question.

Is it at all possible not to worry, and be happy?

The below song is a really lovely song which is saying to you:

"Don't Worry, Be Happy"

Hopefully if you listen to it at least that should cheer you up!



Bobby McFerrin Lyrics

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry, be happy)
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry, be happy)

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
(Look at me I'm happy)

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be Happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me, I make you happy
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
But don't worry, be happy
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy

Now there, is this song I wrote
I hope you learned it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy, be happy now

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it, be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
(Put a smile on your face, don't bring everybody down like this)
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(It will soon pass, whatever it is)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Don't worry, be happy
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
I'm not worried, I'm happy

 

jamaka's got a bobsled team. used to have that soundtrack on cassette.

is good. yes.

 

i like the dugout with wheels under it rolling down the hill.
but you still have to carry it back up the hill to roll down on it again.

but yah, you don't have to let that it takes doing so to stop us from.

 

GOOD TIP Hands
Good tip.

 

I hardly worry these days.
I think I am all out of worry. Lol

 

I feel another song coming on Gal!

An oldie.
But a goodie!



Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag
And smile, smile, smile
While you've a lucifer to light your fag
Smile, boys, that's the style!
What's the use of worrying?
It never was worthwhile
So pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag
And smile, smile, smile

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag
And smile, smile, smile
While you've a lucifer to light your fag
Smile, boys, that's the style!
What's the use of worrying?
It never was worthwhile
So pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag
And smile, smile, smile

 

What you say there is so true Gal.
And the words of this old but still lovely song hold just as good today as they did when the song came out.

 

Awww Doddy RIP. Bless him.

 

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" was a saying popularized by the Indian mystic Meher Baba while conversing with his disciples.

Don't Worry, Be Happy - Wikipedia

Meher Baba was known for his work amongst the Masts , who were spiritual aspirants intoxicated with love for God, accompanied with external disorientation resembling intoxication. He traveled all over the world to meet such people and help them in their spiritual journey.



"Bravery and strength overcome all difficulties", is also an another popular saying of Meher Baba.

 

Thank you very much for that information Alay.
Very interesting indeed.

 

Nice one. X

 

Thank you Gal.

 

actually all i need is my imagination, no one to rob me of it, and nothing to create anxieties to rob me of enjoying it.
(it helps to have harmless kinds of toys with which to build what i imagine and explore the infinite that remains to be discovered,
you don't need a lot of them, and impressing anyone else is useless, but just the ones that are tools to do a particular thing you find gratifying)

 

I found what you said there very interesting themnax and when put like that it is ever so simple.
You made me think of the Beatles song Imagine.
Imagining all the wonderful things the song talks about will likely never happen of course, but to have a dream just has to be good for the soul, if nothing else.
