Somebody came and took your bed

The landlord say your rent is late

He may have to litigate

Ain't got no gal to make you smile
         E       B 
Don't worry, be happy.
B
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
  C♯ₘ
And that will bring everybody down

Don't worry, be happy.

Don't worry, be happy now.

Don't bring everybody down.
