Classic Poem

(U P ON Top OF A R AINBOW )

VERSE

Don't go 'round mopin', hopin'
Happiness will come.
That's not the way,
It doesn't pay,
If you want happiness
Just help yourself to some.
Why don't you try to
Take life the way I do?

REFRAIN

Let the whole world sigh or cry,
I'll be high
In the sky,
Up on top of a rainbow,
Sweepin' the clouds away.
I don't care what's down below,
Let it rain,
Let it snow,
I'll be up on a rainbow,
Sweepin' the clouds away.
I have learned life's lesson:
Fighters who always win
Are those who can take it right on the chin
And grin.
And so I shout to ev'ryone,
" Find your place
In the sun
Up on top of a rainbow,
Sweepin' the clouds away. "
