Don't Let It Bother You - Fats Waller, Billy Taylor

Boy, what’s the matter with you?

Oh man, everything’s wrong

My old lady done run off with the iceman

What?!

That, an' my daughter done run off with the undertaker, and I’m about to die,

and ain’t got nobody to bury me!

Son, don’t let it bother you

Listen here

Don’t let it bother you

When things go wrong

If you’re glum, just hum and some

Good luck will come along

Don’t let it bother you

If now and then

You may stumble, never grumble

Count from one to ten

A frown is a smile upside down

Turn that frown upside down

And smile, sing

La de da de da de da da zing zing zing

Don’t let it bother you

If skies are grey

Learn to grin, take it on to ten

Everything will be okay

Don’t let it bother you

When things go wrong

If you’re glum, just hum and some

Good luck will come along

Don’t let it bother you

If now and then

You may stumble, never grumble

Count from one to ten

A frown is a smile upside down

Turn that frown upside down

Smile, sing

La le la le la le la zing zing zing

Oh, don’t let it bother you

If skies are grey

Learn to grin, take it on to ten

Everything will be okay, yes

My, my, yes, yes
