Lyrics
Whenever I feel afraid,
I hold my head erect,
And whistle a happy tune,
So no one will suspect I'm afraid!
While shivering in my shoes,
I strike a careless pose,
And whistle a happy tune,
And no one ever knows I'm afraid!
The result of this deception
Is very strange to tell;
For when I fool the people I fear
I fool myself as well!
I whistle a happy tune,
And every single time,
The happiness in the tune,
Convinces me that I'm not afraid!
Make believe you're brave
And the trick will take you far;
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are!
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are;
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are!
While shivering in my shoes,
I strike a careless pose,
And whistle a happy tune,
And no one ever knows I'm afraid!
I whistle a happy tune,
And every single time,
The happiness in the tune,
Convinces me that I'm not afraid!
The result of this deception
Is very strange to tell;
For when I fool the people I fear
I fool myself as well!
I whistle a happy tune,
And every single time,
The happiness in the tune,
Convinces me that I'm not afraid!
