Channel 4 are showing the London Palladium Judy Show Rufus did back in February earlier this year!
It's on Channel 4 at 11.55pm on Sunday 26th August.
Am I excited? Yes I am.

A curious thing happened when I was listening to Judy :Live at the Carnegie Hall CD and I feel the need to enlist the help of those of you have the album. During "A Foggy Day" after she sings the words "British Museum", I swear a frog croaks. Please check your CD and let me know if you hear strange ribit(you may have to turn it up rather loudly). Quite what I will do if it is just me, I do not know.
Thank you for indulging me. Tata.

Hello all,
I felt it a duty to share with Rufus fans that he will be coming to Australia next year to perform the Judy Garland concerts. I have a source (no really...I do) and they wouldn't give me any more details!! But if I can wheedle it out of them...

http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=GetHappy
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
We're gonna chase all your tears away
Sing "Hallelujah," come on, get happy
We're headin' for the Judgment Day
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
The Lord is waitin' to take your hand
The sun is shinin', come on, get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land
We're headin' 'cross the river, wash our sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful on the other side
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
Come on and chase all your cares away
Shout "Hallelujah," come on, get happy
We're headin' for the Judgment Day
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
Chase your cares away
Hallelujah, get happy.. to the Judgement Day
The sun keep shinin', come on, get happy
The Lord is waitin' to take your hand
Shout "Hallelujah," come on, get happy
We're gonna be goin' to the Promised Land
We're headin' across the river, gonna wash our sins away in the tide
It's quiet and peaceful on the other side
Forget your troubles, get happy or then fly away
Shout "Hallelujah," get happy, get ready for me
Just today, come on, get happy
Chase your cares away
Shout "Hallelujah," come on, get happy
We're headin' for the Judgement Day
The sun is shinin', come on, get happy
The Lord is waitin' to take your hand
Shout "Hallelujah," come on, get happy

not sure if this encore will be on the album or not (i hope so), but it's still worth having a thread for
http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=EvryTimeWeSayGoodbye
Everytime you say goodbye, I cry a little
Everytime you say goodbye, I wonder why a little
Why, the gods above us, they must be in the know
Think so little of us, they allow you to go
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no lovesong finer,
But how strange the change from major to minor
Everytime you say goodbye
http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=EvryTimeWeSayGoodbye
Everytime you say goodbye, I cry a little
Everytime you say goodbye, I wonder why a little
Why, the gods above us, they must be in the know
Think so little of us, they allow you to go
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no lovesong finer,
But how strange the change from major to minor
Everytime you say goodbye
... and you will never guess where?
"WHERE? WHERE?"
http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=Chicago
I got the surprise, the surprise of my life
I had to stop and stare
I saw a man dancing with his own wife
And you will never guess where
Chicago, Chicago
The toddlin' town, the toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago
I'll see you around, I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down
On State Street, that great street
I wish I could stay, I wish I could stay
They do things they don't do on Broadway, say
I had the time, the time of my life
I saw a man who danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago
Chicago, Chicago
Free and easy town, brassy, breezy town
Chicago, Chicago
Let me cool my heels right down at Marshall Field
Come and walk with me along the lake
To the great holler and hoot, all through the loop
Shout how now to Mrs. O'Leary's cow
No she-she, life is peachy
Chicago, we'll meet at the Pump Room, Ambassador East
To say the least, on shish kebab
And best of squad we will see, and yet please
Don't tell me sin is rampant and rife
Think of that man who danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago
I'm in this city, what a wonderful windy town
"WHERE? WHERE?"

Your thoughts on this duet with Lorna Luft?
PS - I love Loudon's version of this song, too
http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=AfterYouveGone
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone, there's no denyin'
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the bestest pal ya ever had
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
Oh, baby, think what you're doin'
My love for you is gonna drive you to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away
Lorna Luft:
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone, there's no denyin'
You're gonna feel blue, and
You're gonna feel sad, you're gonna feel bad
And you'll miss, and you'll miss
And you'll miss the bestest pal ya ever had
Wainwright & Luft:
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Oh, baby, think what you're doin'
I'm gonna haunt you so, I'm gonna taunt you so
It's gonna drive you to ruin

Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E-ven now my mammy's waiting for me
Praying for me, down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore
Swanee, Swanee,
I'm coming back to Swanee
Mammy, mammy,
I love the old folks at home
I love you Swanee
How I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world if I could only be
Sitting on my mammy's knee
I love the old folks, I love the young folks
*incomprehensible * … mammy, mammy
My dear old mammy
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore

one of the best songs EVER!...
http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=OvertheRainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over that rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over that rainbow
Why, oh why, can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why, can't I?
http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=OvertheRainbow

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over that rainbow
Why, oh why, can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why, can't I?
http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=RockAByeYourBabyWithADixieMelody
Rock-a-bye your baby to a Dixie melody
When you croon, croon a tune from the heart of Dixie
Just place that cradle, mammy mine
Right on that Mason-Dixon Line
And swing it from Virginia to Tennessee
With all the love that's in ya
"Weep No More, My Lady" - sing that song again, for me
Sing "Old Black Joe" just as though you had me on your knee
A million baby kisses, I'll deliver
If you will only sing that "Swanee River"
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby to a Dixie melody
"Weep No More, My Lady" - sing that song again, for me
Sing "Old Black Joe" just as though you had me on your knee
A million baby kisses, I'll deliver
If you will only sing that "Swanee River"
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby to a Dixie melody
Rock-a-bye your baby to a Dixie melody
When you croon, croon a tune from the heart of Dixie
Just place that cradle, mammy mine
Right on that Mason-Dixon Line
And swing it from Virginia to Tennessee
With all the love that's in ya
"Weep No More, My Lady" - sing that song again, for me
Sing "Old Black Joe" just as though you had me on your knee
A million baby kisses, I'll deliver
If you will only sing that "Swanee River"
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby to a Dixie melody
"Weep No More, My Lady" - sing that song again, for me
Sing "Old Black Joe" just as though you had me on your knee
A million baby kisses, I'll deliver
If you will only sing that "Swanee River"
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby to a Dixie melody

You made me love you
I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do it
You made me love you
And all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes, you made me glad
But most of the time, dear, you made me feel so bad
You made me sigh, 'cause
I didn't want to tell you, I didn't want to tell you
I need some love it's true, yes I do, 'deed I do, you know I do
I can't tell you what I'm feeling
The very mention of your name sends my heart reeling
You know you made me love you
The bells are ringing for me and my gal
The birds are singing for me and my gal
“Sing it with me, please!”
Everybody’s been knowing to a wedding they're going
And for weeks they've been sewing, every Susie and Sal
They're congregating for me and my gal
The parson's waiting for me and my gal
And when they build a little home to two
Or three or four or more
In Loveland, for me and my gal
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings
From the moment I saw him, I fell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Bump, bump, bump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings
When he smiled, you could feel the car shake
He tipped his hat, and took a seat
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet
He asked my name, I held my breath
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
Stop, stop went my heart strings
As he started to leave, I took hold of his sleeve with my hand
And as if it was planned, he stayed on with me
And it was grand just to stand with his hand holding mine
To the end of the line

http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=ZingWenttheStringsofMyHeart
Dear, when you smiled at me, I heard a melody
It haunted me from the start
Something inside of me, started a symphony
Zing! went the strings of my heart
'Twas like a breath of spring, I heard a robin sing
About a nest set apart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made skies seem blue again
What else could I do again?
But keep repeating through and through
I love you, love you
I still recall the thrill, I guess I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody divine
Zing! went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made the skies seem blue again
What else could I do again?
But keep repeating through and through
I love you, love you
I still recall the thrill, I guess I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody divine
Zing! went the strings of my, zing! went the strings of my
Zing! went the strings of my heart

http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=IfLoveWereAll
I believe in doing what I can
Crying when I must,
And laughing when I choose
Hey ho, if love were all
I would be lonely
I believe the more you love a man
The more you put your trust
The more you're bound to lose
Although when shadows fall
I think if only somebody splendid really needed me
Someone affectionate and dear
Cares would be ended if I knew that he
Wanted to have me near
But I believe that since my life began
The most I've had is just a talent to amuse
Hey ho, if love were all
I believe in doing what I can
Crying when I must,
And laughing when I choose
Hey ho, if love were all
I would be lonely
I believe the more you love a man
The more you put your trust
The more you're bound to lose
Although when shadows fall
I think if only somebody splendid really needed me
Someone affectionate and dear
Cares would be ended if I knew that he
Wanted to have me near
But I believe that since my life began
The most I've had is just a talent to amuse
Hey ho, if love were all
http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=AFoggyDay
I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do? What to do? What to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked in those foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low, had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't passed
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London Town
The sun was shining everywhere
I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do? What to do? What to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked in those foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low, had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't passed
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London Town
The sun was shining everywhere
Short and sweet!
http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=YoureNearer
You're nearer, than my head is to the pillow
Nearer, than the wind is to the willow
Dearer, than the rain is to the earth below
Precious as the sun to the things that grow
You're nearer, than the ivy to the wall is
Nearer, than the winter to the fall is
Leave me, but when you're away, you'll know
You're nearer, for I love you so

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me, it was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me, 'cause I’m gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
Won't that be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny, we're in or we're out of the money
I'm with you always, I'm with you rain or shine
Gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you, come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you!
I guess when you met me, it was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me, 'cause I’m gonna be true

Let me, let me
Let me, let me
Let me love you
Let me love you
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together

I Can't Give You Anything But Love
Your thoughts on this lovely song?
http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=ICantGiveYouAnythingButLove
Now that it's your birthday, I don't know what to do
Can't give you a Thunderbird, or a penthouse with a view
Can't even buy a little present
I'm much too broke, I find
But there is one way I can save the day
And I sure hope you don't mind, that…
I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dream a while, scheme a while
You're sure to find happiness
And I guess all those things you've always pined for
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby
'Til that lucky day, you know darn well, baby
I can't give you anything but love
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby
'Til that lucky day, you know darn well, baby
I can't give you anything, I can't give you anything
I can't give you anything but love
Your thoughts on this lovely song?
http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=ICantGiveYouAnythingButLove
Now that it's your birthday, I don't know what to do
Can't give you a Thunderbird, or a penthouse with a view
Can't even buy a little present
I'm much too broke, I find
But there is one way I can save the day
And I sure hope you don't mind, that…
I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dream a while, scheme a while
You're sure to find happiness
And I guess all those things you've always pined for
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby
'Til that lucky day, you know darn well, baby
I can't give you anything but love
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby
'Til that lucky day, you know darn well, baby
I can't give you anything, I can't give you anything
I can't give you anything but love

A clown with his pants falling down
Or the dance that's a dream of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean
That's entertainment
The lights on the lady in tights
Or the bride with the guy on her side
Or the ball where she gives it her all
That's entertainment
The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex
A gay divorcée who is after her ex
It could be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his father and causes lots of bother
The clerk who is thrown out of work
By the boss who is thrown for a loss
By the skirt who is doing him dirt
The world is a stage, the stage is a world of entertainment
It might be a scene like you see on the screen
A swain being slain for the love of a queen
Some great Shakespearean scene
Where a ghost and a prince meet, and everything ends in mincemeat
The guy will be waving the flag
That began with the mystical hand
Hip hooray, the American way
The world is a stage, the stage is a world of entertainment

I never will forget Jeanette MacDonald…
Just to think of her, it gives my heart a pang
I never will forget how that brave Jeanette
Just stood there in the ruins and sang, and sang…
San Francisco, open your golden gate
You'll let nobody wait outside your door
San Francisco, here is your wandering one
Saying I'll wander no more
Other places only make me love you best
Tell me you're the one in all the golden west
San Francisco, here comes your wandering one
Never to roam again, never to roam again
San Francisco, right when I arrive
I really come alive
And you will laugh to see me
Perpendicular, hanging on a cable car
San Francisco, let me beat my feet up and down Market Street
I'm gonna climb Nob Hill, just to watch it get dark
From the top of the mark
There's Brooklyn Bridge, London Bridge
And the Bridge of San Luis Rey
But the only bridge, that's a real gone bridge
Is the bridge across the bay
San Francisco, I'm coming home again
Never to roam again, by gum
San Francisco, I don't mean Frisco
San Francisco, here I come!

http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=TheManThatGotAway
The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder, suddenly you're older
And all because of the man that got away
No more his eager call, the writings on the wall
The dreams you dreamed have all gone astray
The man that won you, has run off and undone you
That great beginning has seen a final inning
Don't know what happened, it's all a crazy game
No more that all-time thrill, for you've been through the mill
And never a new love will be the same
Good riddance, goodbye
Every trick of his you're on to
But fools will be fools, and where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher, it's lonelier and tougher
With hope you'll burn up, tomorrow he might turn up
There's just no letup, the livelong night and day
Ever since this world began, there is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman, looking for the man that got away
The man that got away
The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder, suddenly you're older
And all because of the man that got away
No more his eager call, the writings on the wall
The dreams you dreamed have all gone astray
The man that won you, has run off and undone you
That great beginning has seen a final inning
Don't know what happened, it's all a crazy game
No more that all-time thrill, for you've been through the mill
And never a new love will be the same
Good riddance, goodbye
Every trick of his you're on to
But fools will be fools, and where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher, it's lonelier and tougher
With hope you'll burn up, tomorrow he might turn up

Ever since this world began, there is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman, looking for the man that got away

Just you, just me
Let's find a cozy spot, to cuddle and coo
Just us, just we
I've missed an awful lot, my trouble is you
Oh gee!
What are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
You use your imagination
Just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot 'round wonderful you
Just you and just me
Just us and just we
Oh gee!
What are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
You use your imagination
Just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot
I'll tie a lover's knot 'round wonderful you
Just you, just me
Let's find a cozy spot, to cuddle and coo
Just us, just we
I've missed an awful lot, my trouble is you
Oh gee!

I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Listen you, tell me do
How long has this been going on?
There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been going on?
Dear, when in your arms I creep
That divine rendezvous
Don't wake me, if I'm asleep
Let me dream that it's true
Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for Heaven's sake
How long has this been going on?
Oh, how I wish that I could melt
Into Heaven I'm hurled
Now I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for Heaven's sake
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?

Like on the ‘old’ forum, I thought it’d be nice to have threads here for individual songs from the show, especially since a CD and DVD are planned to be released in September, and I am sure people will love to discuss the tracks separately.

http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=PuttinOntheRitz
If you're blue, and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits?
Puttin' on the ritz
Different gowns upon the bevy of
High brows from down the levy, or misfits
Puttin' on the ritz
That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Monday evening with her swell girls
Rubbin' elbows
Come let's mix, where Rockefellers walk with sticks
And umbrellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the ritz
If you're blue, and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits?
Different gowns *incomprehensible *
*incomprehensible * on the levy, that fits
That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Sunday evening with her swell girls
Rubbin' elbows
Come let's mix, where Rockefellers walk with sticks
And umbrellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the ritz, puttin' on the ritz

Who cares if the sun cares to fall in the sea?
Who cares what banks fail in Yonkers?
As long as you've got a kiss that conquers
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee
As long as I care for you, and you care for me
Who cares if the sun cares to fall in the sea?
Who cares about a bank that failed in Yonkers?
As long as you have got a kiss that conquers
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee
As long as I care for you, and you care
You care, baby, for me

Alone together
Above the crowd, beyond the world
We're not too proud to cling together
We're strong as long as we're together
Alone together
The blinding rain, the starless night
Were not in vain
For we're together,
And what is there to fear together?
Our love is as deep as the sea
Our love is as great as a love can be
For we can weather the great unknown
If we're alone together,
Together, together
If we're alone together
Feel free to discuss this song!

http://rufus.jt.org/song.php?i=YouGotoMyHead
You go to my head, and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head, like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea,
Casts a spell over me
And I say to myself, "get ahold of yourself!"
Can't you see that this never can be?
You go to my head, (and I forgot the god-darn words)
*incomprehensible lyrics, scat singing*
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance, in this crazy romance
You go to my head, you go to my head
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea,
Casts a spell over me
And I say to myself, "get ahold of yourself!"
Can't you see that it never can be?
You go to my head, like a summer with a thousand Julys
*incomprehensible * you make my temperature rise
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance, in this crazy romance
You go to my head, you go to my head
You go to my head
You go to my head, and you linger like a haunting refrain

You really shouldn't have done it, you hadn't any right
I really shouldn't have let you kiss me
And although it was wrong, I never was strong
So as long as you've begun it, and you know you shouldn't have done it…
Oh, do it again
I may cry, "no, no, no, no, no," but do it again
My lips just ache to have you take
The kiss that's waiting for you
You know if you do,
You won't regret it, come and get it
Oh, no one is near
I may cry, "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh," but no one can hear
Mama may scold me, 'cause she told me
It was naughty, but then
Please, do it again
Just do it again, and again and again and again and again
Turn out the light,
And hold me close in your arms all through the night
I know tomorrow morning you will say goodbye and amen
But until then, please do it again
Enjoy!

What a day this has been, what a fair mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face, for the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel, when that bell starts to peel
I could tell I was falling, I would swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love, almost like being in love
It's almost, it's almost...
But, this can't be love, because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love, I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the sky
My heart does not stand still, hear it beat?
This is too sweet to be love
This can't be love, because I feel so well
And yet I love to love, glad I'm alive
Love to live, think I'll survive
There's a smile on my face, for the whole human race
All the music of life seems to be, like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel, when that bell starts to peel
I could tell I was falling, I would swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love...
Almost like being in love!

When you're smiling, when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughing, when you're laughing
The sun comes shining through
But when you're crying, you bring on the rain
So stop that sighing, be happy again
When you're smiling, keep on smiling
The whole world smiles with you
If you suddenly find out you've been deceived, don't get peeved
If your husband bluntly tells you you're too stout, don't you pout
And for Heaven's sakes, retain a calm demeanor
If a cop walks up and hands you a subpoena
If the groom should take a powder, while you're marching down the aisle
Don't weep and moan because he's blown, just face the world and smile
'Cause when you're crying, don't you know, that your make-up starts to run?
And your eyes get red and scrappy
Forget your troubles, have yourself a little fun
Have a ball, forget it all
Forget your troubles, come on get happy!
When you're smiling, 'cause when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you!
