Oh, when the world looks dark and upside down
And things go wrong all day
Just keep smiling and never frown
And just laugh, laugh your troubles away

When the sun won't shine through the troubled spots
And your problem won't go away
You'll be all right if you just try
To laugh your troubles away

Oh, when the food's all gone, and the rent's past due
And trouble's come to stay
There's only one smart thing that you can do
And that's laugh all your troubles away
Yes, all your troubles away

[Guitar lead]

No matter what kind of trouble you're in
Don't try to run away
Just face the world with a big, white grin
And laugh, laugh your troubles away
Just laugh all your troubles away
Just laugh, laugh your troubles away
