From Maurice
Chevalier: Encore Maurice! Academy Sound and Vision, LDT, CD AJA 5016.
Don't go 'round moping, hoping 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:
Let the whole world sigh or cry,
I'll be high in the sky,
Up on top of a rainbow,
Sweeping the clouds away!
I don't care what's down below,
Let it rain, let it snow,
I'll be up on a rainbow,
Sweeping 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'll shout to everyone,
Find your place, in the sun,
Up on top of a rainbow,
Sweeping the clouds away!
Let the whole world sigh or cry,
I'll be high in the sky,
Up on top of a rainbow,
Sweeping the clouds away!
I don't care what's down below,
Oh ho, let it rain, ah ha ha, let
it snow,
I'll be up on a rainbow,
Sweeping 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'll shout to everyone,
Find your place, in the sun,
Up on top of a rainbow,
Sweeping 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'll shout to everyone,
Find your place, in the sun,
Up on top of a rainbow,
Sweeping the clouds away!
