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
