When you think the world's gone back on you
Your skies of blue seem grey
A little bit of rain makes you complain
You know that a rainbow will make the rain go 'way
Do as I say...

Help yourself to happiness
There’s plenty of sunshine for you and your neighbour
Help yourself to happiness
It’s knocking right on your front door

If love and life have lost all their thrill
Through cares and strife that bluebird is still on your windowsill
So, help yourself to happiness
And happiness will help you too
