There's a town called Don't-You-
Worry,
On the banks of River Smile,
Where the Cheer-Up and Be-Happy
Blossom sweetly all the while.
Where the Never-Grumble flower
Bloom beside the fragrant Try,
And the Ne'er-Give-Up and Patience
Point their faces to the sky.
In the valley of Contentment,
In the province of Twill
You will find their lovely city,
At the foot of No-Fret Hill.
There are thoroughfares delight
In this very charming town;
And on every hand are shade trees
Named the Very-Seldom-Frown.
Rustic benches, quite enticing,
You'll find scattered here and
there;
And to each a vine is clinging
Called the Frequent-Earnest-Pray-

Everybody there is happy,
And is singing all the while,
In the town of DOn'tY ouWOrry,

the Firms and their ally, the
