Laugh and Be Happy

It's about inviting you in and letting you play

So laugh and be happy, smile right in their face
Whacking on their front door
There'll be a real silver lining up there for me and you

Or you can listen to me, listen to me

Blackbirds singing in the tree

You can whine all you want to, drown in your misery
Now the country that we're living in
It's never been about keeping you out
Laugh and be happy, don't you ever wear a frown
Laugh and be happy, don't you ever wear a frown
Laugh and be happy, believe me when I say
Wanna send you packin' on the double
There'll be a red sun shining in the sky so blue
Listen to me, listen to me
Laugh and be happy, it's a simple thing to do
You mean the good ol' USA? That's right
But I ain't going away no more
'Cause pretty soon you're gonna take their place
Don't let the bastards grind you down

Believe in your dream and your dream will come true for you
Get right back on your feet whenever they knock you down
Come and whack whack, whackin' like old man trouble
