Shirley Temple Song Lyrics Tra-La La La (Young People 1940) Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon/Harry Warren © Twentieth Century Music Corp/Robbins Music Corp Picture: Original Sheet Music cover

Here's a little tune that always helps you when you're blue
Just a pretty little ditty, and you ought to learn it, too
It will cheer you up whenever skies above are gray
When things go wrong
Its just the song
To chase your cares away
Away, away, and ev'rything will be okay

Tra-la-la-la, what a merry world we live in
Tra-la-la-la, all of it is yours and mine
So wear a smile, sing a little while it's raining
And through the clouds, ev'ry little star will shine
Tra-la-la-la, what's a little bit of trouble?
You live and learn things are gonna turn out fine
Just feel that way
And ev'ry little day
Will seem like spring
If you'll just sing
Tra-la, tra-la-la-la-la
