The Worry Song by Gene Kelly Lyrics
[JOE]
If you worry, if you worry
If you bother your head
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
I do
[JOE]
It won't help you, it won't help you
It will hurt you instead
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
It will?
[JOE]
Grouchers, groaners, cranks and moaners
They're so unfair
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
I know
[JOE]
If you can't be gay and merry
Lock yourself in solitary
Though it hurts you, though it hurts you
Be a pleasanter guy
You may even learn to like it
If you give it a try
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
I'll try
[JOE]
You could laugh and sing and dance
As gaily as an elf
But don't expect to get much help
If you don't help yourself
(spoken)
Will you try?
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
If you show me
[JOE, spoken]
I'll show you
[JERRY MOUSE]
I'll try
[JOE, spoken]
Good!
(sung)
One, two, three, four
[JERRY MOUSE]
One, two, three, four
[JOE]
One, two, three
[JERRY MOUSE]
One, two, three
[JOE]
La-la-la-la-la-la
[JERRY MOUSE]
La-la-la-la-la-la
[JOE, spoken]
You see?
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
It's easy!
[Dance Interlude]
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
Look at me! I'm dancing!
If you worry, if you worry
If you bother your head
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
I do
[JOE]
It won't help you, it won't help you
It will hurt you instead
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
It will?
[JOE]
Grouchers, groaners, cranks and moaners
They're so unfair
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
I know
[JOE]
If you can't be gay and merry
Lock yourself in solitary
Though it hurts you, though it hurts you
Be a pleasanter guy
You may even learn to like it
If you give it a try
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
I'll try
[JOE]
You could laugh and sing and dance
As gaily as an elf
But don't expect to get much help
If you don't help yourself
(spoken)
Will you try?
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
If you show me
[JOE, spoken]
I'll show you
[JERRY MOUSE]
I'll try
[JOE, spoken]
Good!
(sung)
One, two, three, four
[JERRY MOUSE]
One, two, three, four
[JOE]
One, two, three
[JERRY MOUSE]
One, two, three
[JOE]
La-la-la-la-la-la
[JERRY MOUSE]
La-la-la-la-la-la
[JOE, spoken]
You see?
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
It's easy!
[Dance Interlude]
[JERRY MOUSE, spoken]
Look at me! I'm dancing!
