Be Like the Bluebird - Bill McCutcheon

作词：Cole Porter

作曲：Cole Porter

You know your problem Billy

You ain't got no philosophy

It's like Dillinger once told me

Remember it's always the darkest

Just before they turn on the lights

There's an old Australian bush song

That Melba used to sing

A song that always cheered me when I was blue

Even Melba said this bush song

Was a helluva song to sing

So be quiet whilst I render it for you

When your instinct tells you that disaster

Is approaching you faster and faster

Then be like the bluebird and sing

Tweet tweet tra-la tra-la tra-la

When you know you're headed for the jailer

Don't allow the old face to look paler

But be like the bluebird and sing

Tweet tweet tra-la tra-la tra-la

Be like the bluebird who never is blue

For he knows from his upbringing what singing can do

And though by other birdies in the boughs

He may be told that his efforts are perfectly lousy

He sings on and on till his troubles are through
