AI generated The Little Mermaid Here's a little song I wrote You might want to sing it note for note Don't worry Be happy In every life we have some trouble But when you worry you make it double Don't worry Be happy Don't worry, be happy now Don't worry Be happy Don't worry, be happy Don't worry Be happy Don't worry, be happy Ain't got no place to lay your head Somebody came and took your bed Don't worry Be happy The landlord said your rent is lit He may have to litigate Don't worry Be happy Look at me, I'm happy Oooooo Don't worry Be happy Can I give you my phone number When you worry, call me, I need you happy Oooooo Don't worry Be happy Ooooh, oooh, oooh Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style Ain't got no gas to make you smile But don't worry, be happy When you're worry, your faith will frown And that will bring everybody down So don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy now Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it Be happy, put a smile on your face Don't bring everybody down like this Don't worry, it will soon pass whatever it is Don't worry, be happy I'm not worried I'm happy
