Things do go wrong, it's not long since i've been blue But i know the remedy, i can see just what to do Don't be a coward, don't be yellow It always pays to be mellow Stay cool, stay free and then you will see It's best to stay mellow I was upset and in debt with no money But i did not stay sad, it's not that bad, so remember Oh if you are down in the town with no bus fare Start walking and smile, in a while you'll be back home
