How long shall you carry

That burden on your shoulders?

How long shall those tears

Keep running down

Your beautiful face?

We all have troubles

Now and again, know what I'm saying? 



No matter how hard we try,

Trouble will find us one way or another.

People had troubles since the pope

Was an altar boy

People had worries from when the

Dead Sea was only wrinkled.

Hear those drums running and

Listen to those guitars skanking

Yeah... Put a smile on your face

Don't let the troubles get you down

Shoop shoop doo doo

Put a smile on your face

No man can hide from his fears

Since they are part of him

They always know where to find him,

Come on walk tall and

Keep your head high 



I tell you again and again

Put a smile on your face,

Don't let the troubles

Get you down

Shoop shoop doo doo

Put a smile on your face,

Don't let the troubles

Get you down
