When life reaches out and takes you On an unpleasent ride And your bridge of dreams comes Tumblin' down Don't let your bed of sorrow Ever conquer your pride Remember there's always a way out
Just take up a course in happiness Take up a course to clear out your mind You will show yourself how to smile Take up a course in happiness Take up a free instruction in life You will learn how to smile
And when your optimism Has a set back or two And you feel all your tryin's in vain (Your heart's in the rain) Don't give up the hope that's due you Just to study your doubt Remember there's always a way out
Just take up a course in happiness Take up a course to clear out your mind You will show yourself how to smile Take up a course in happiness Take up a free instruction in life You will learn how to smile
