Текст песни Be Like the Bluebird - Anything Goes - 1989 London Cast

You know your problem, Billy?
You ain′t got no philosophy
You know life has taught me to think positive
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, la-la, la-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, la-la, la-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
"Tweet-tweet, tra-la, la-la, la-la"
