Things do go wrong, it's not long since i've been blue
But i know the remedy, i can see just what to do

Don't be a coward, don't be yellow
It always pays to be mellow
Stay cool, stay free and then you will see
It's best to stay mellow

I was upset and in debt with no money
But i did not stay sad, it's not that bad, so remember

Oh if you are down in the town with no bus fare
Start walking and smile, in a while you'll be back home
