Roll-Up the Carpet
Cheer Up! Smile! Nertz!
Sure, business is punk
And Wall Street is sunk
We're all of us broke
And ready to croak
We've nothing to junk
Can't even get drunk
And all the while they tell us to smile!
Cheer up, gentle citizens
Though you have no shirts!
Happy days are here again
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
All aboard prosperity
Giggle 'til it hurts!
No more breadline charity
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
Cheer-up-cheer-up-cheer-up
Cheer-up, cheer!
Up-cheer-up-cheer-up-cheer
Better times are here!
Sunny smilers we must be
The optimist asserts!
Let's hang the fatheads to a tree
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
The world's in the red
We're better off dead
Depression, they say
Is in session to stay
Our judges are queer
Our banks disappear
And all the while they tell us to smile!
Cheer up, gentle citizens
Though you have no shirts!
Happy days are here again
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
All aboard prosperity
Giggle 'til it hurts
No more breadline charity
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
Cheer-up-cheer-up-cheer-up
Cheer-up, cheer!
Up-cheer-up-cheer-up-cheer
Better times are here!
Sunny smilers we must be
The optimist asserts!
Let's hang those fatheads to a tree
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
Nertz!
And Wall Street is sunk
We're all of us broke
And ready to croak
We've nothing to junk
Can't even get drunk
And all the while they tell us to smile!
Cheer up, gentle citizens
Though you have no shirts!
Happy days are here again
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
All aboard prosperity
Giggle 'til it hurts!
No more breadline charity
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
Cheer-up-cheer-up-cheer-up
Cheer-up, cheer!
Up-cheer-up-cheer-up-cheer
Better times are here!
Sunny smilers we must be
The optimist asserts!
Let's hang the fatheads to a tree
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
The world's in the red
We're better off dead
Depression, they say
Is in session to stay
Our judges are queer
Our banks disappear
And all the while they tell us to smile!
Cheer up, gentle citizens
Though you have no shirts!
Happy days are here again
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
All aboard prosperity
Giggle 'til it hurts
No more breadline charity
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
Cheer-up-cheer-up-cheer-up
Cheer-up, cheer!
Up-cheer-up-cheer-up-cheer
Better times are here!
Sunny smilers we must be
The optimist asserts!
Let's hang those fatheads to a tree
Cheer up, smile, nertz!
Nertz!
