Don't Worry Be Happy Lyrics

Here's a little song I wrote you might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble but when you worry you make it double
Don't worry be happy
Don't worry be happy now
Ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-ooh hoo-hoo-ooh-ooh ooh...

Don't worry
Woo ooh-woo-ooh-woo-ooh-ooh...
Be happy
Woo ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Don't worry be happy
Ooh-ooh hoo-hoo-ooh hoo-hoo-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh...

Don't worry
Woo ooh-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Be happy
Woo-ooh-woo-ooh-ooh...
Don't worry be happy
Ain't got no place to lay your head somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry be happy

The landlord say your rent is late he may have to litigate
Don't worry
Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha
Be happy

Look at me I'm happy


Ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh...
Don't worry
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Be happy
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Here I'll give you my phone number when you're worried call me I'll make you happy
Ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh...
Don't worry

Woo ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Be happy
Woo ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ain't got no cash ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
But don't worry be happy

'Cause when you're worried your face will frown and that will bring everybody down
So don't worry be happy
Don't worry be happy now
Ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh...
Don't worry
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Be happy
Woo ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Don't worry be happy
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh...

Don't worry
Woo ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh-ooh...
Be happy
Woo ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Don't worry be happy
Now there is this song I wrote

I hope you learned it note for note like good little children
Don't worry be happy
Listen to a what I say in your life expect some trouble when you worry you make it double
Don't worry be... happy... be happy now
Ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
be happy

Bobby McFerrin (born New York City, March 11, 1950) is a jazz-influenced a cappella vocal performer and conductor. A ten-time Grammy Award winner, he is one of the world's best known vocal innovators and improvisers. His song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" (featured in the 1988 movie Cocktail, and the 2005 movie Jarhead) was a #1 U.S. pop hit in 1988.

He has also worked in collaboration with instrumental performers including pianist Chick Corea and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. This collaboration has established him as an ambassador of both the classical and jazz worlds. His recordings have sold over 20 million copies.

In addition to his vocal performing career, Mr. McFerrin was appointed in 1994 as creative chair of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.

He is the subject of a persistent yet wholly unfounded rumour that he has committed suicide. The rumor was so strong that the official Bobby McFerrin FAQ addressed the question.

Mr. McFerrin and his oft-maligned hit "Don't Worry, Be Happy" were parodied on "The Simpsons" as "I'm Worried - Need Money". Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
