Just Cheer Up

Do not go through life a-whining,
Just cheer up;
Nothing's gained by your repining.
So cheer up;
Life is largely what you make it,
There is pleasure if you take it,
AS for trouble, why, just shake it,
And cheer up.
Smiles are cheaper than a frown,
So cheer up;
Don't let trouble throw you down,
Just cheer up;
Press with courage to the goal,
Get some sunshine in your soul,
Troubles then from you will roll.
So cheer up.
