Lyrics:

Verse

We must try to make the best of it
When trouble comes along,
Never sigh, though everything seems wrong.
Though we feel
Our lot is terrible,
It is rel-
Ly not unbearable;
What is more,
Let's keep on smiling; for-

Refrain

Somehow I feel there's bound to be
A happy ending;
So no matter what may happen,
Let's look trouble in the eye.
Although at present fate seems
Fearful and unbending,
Something tells me that to ev'ry sorrow
Soon we'll say good-bye.
So let's be cheerful, while we may;
Never tearful, ever gay.
Just forget that now the skies are gray.
Let's smile and keep on waiting for
The happy ending,
For it is on the way;
And some fine day,
It will come to stay.
