People have misunderstandings

Of what life is all about

They put values on the wrong things

And in happiness they lose out



Cause being happy's a feeling

It's all a frame of mind

And every moment you feel sad and blue

You could be having a real good time



Chorus:

Why don't you jump for joy and be happy

Why don't you jump for joy and be glad

If you just try it, you'll feel better

And have the best time you've ever had



There is no sense in worrying

Cause that won't solve a thing

Chances are whatever's worrying you

Is not as bad as it seems



Being down won't last forever

Cause nothing stays the same

You will will have a bright tomorrow

There's always sunshine after rain



Chorus:

Why don't you jump for joy and be happy

Why don't you jump for joy and be glad

If you just try it, you'll feel better

And have the best time you've ever had
