Don’t Worry, Be Happy; Bobby McFerrin

Which would be the first song, the number one? My mood made the choice (I am very very optimistic in my life! and the title says everything): don’t worry, be happy.

This song was written by Bobby McFerrin in 1988 inspired by Meher Baba’s mantra (a moustacher Indian guru) and in September of this same year reached the number one on the Billboard Top 100. In 1989, won Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. [More informations on wikipedia!]

Here are the lyrics, the original videoclip from Dailymotion, the audio only and the photo of Meher Baba with his pretty lei.

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.

Woo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo hoo-hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry. Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-ooo
Be happy. Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry, be happy.

Woo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo hoo-hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry. Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-ooo
Be happy. Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
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 say your rent is late,
He may have to litigate.
Don’t worry, (ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha) be happy.
Look at me, I’m happy.

Woo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry. Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Be happy. Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo

Here, I’ll give you my phone number.
When you’re worried, call me.
I’ll make you happy.

Woo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry. Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Be happy. Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo

Ain’t got no cash, ain’t got no style,
Ain’t got no gal to make you smile,
Don’t worry, be happy.
When you’re worried your face will frown,
And that will bring everybody down.
Don’t worry, be happy.
Don’t worry, be happy now.

Woo-oo-hoo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry. Wo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Be happy. Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry, be happy.

Woo-oo-hoo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry. Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Be happy. Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry, be happy.

Woo-oo-hoo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry, don’t worry.
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t do it, be happy.
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Put a smile on your face
Don’t bring everybody down like this.

Woo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry. Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
It will soon pass, whatever it is.
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Don’t worry, be happy.

Woo-oo-hoo-hoo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
I’m not worried. Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I’m happy. Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
