Be Like the Blue Bird

There's an old Australian bush song
 That Melba used to sing
 A song that always cheered me
 When I was blue
 Even Melba said
 "This bush song was a helluva song to sing
 So be quiet whilst I render it for you"
 When your instinct tells you that disaster
 Is approaching you faster and faster
 Then be like the bluebird and sing
 "Tweet tweet, tra-la, tra-la, tra-la"
 When you know you're headed for the jailer
 Don't allow the old face to look paler
 But be like the bluebird and sing
 "Tweet tweet, tra-la, tra-la, tra-la"
 Be like the bluebird who never is blue
 ♪
 For he knows from his upbringing what singing can do
 And though by other birdies in the boughs
 He may be told that his efforts are perfectly lousy
 He sings on and on till his troubles are through
