Don't Worry, Be Happy

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
But 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
But don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate but don't worry, be happy
Look at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy

Here I give you my phone number, when you worry call me, I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile but don't worry, be happy
'Cause when you worry your face 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

Now there is this song I wrote
I hope you learned it note for note like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say, "In your life expect some trouble, but when you worry you make it double"
Don't worry, be happy, 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 past whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
I'm not worried, I'm happy

'Round Midnight

It begins to tell 'round midnight, midnight
I do pretty well till after sundown
Supper time I'm feelin sad
But it really gets bad 'round midnight

Memories always start'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And old midnight knows it too

When a quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending
Darlin', I need you, lately I find
You're out of my heart and I'm out of my mind

Let our hearts take wings 'round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing for your returning
Till our love is safe and sound
And old midnight comes around

Feelin' sad really gets bad
'Round, 'round, 'round midnight

Another Night In Tunisia

Livin' in the middle 'n relaxin' while y'loosen only a little
Means y'gotta figure out a way y'outta' go
'N steady movin' on ahead're anywhere y'kharma led'n
With a fascintain' desert f'y'bed

How very inviting
Such a lush, poetic sight full o'lots o'lovely desert
And a rare, exotic mystery at night
How y'gonna beat it f'r a magic delight

Thrill to the chant of the Muezzin
Callin' all t'pray aroun' the closin' o'the day
Becones a regular occurrence

Git offa' the camel's back
Put you a tent up, lay you a mat down
Ready t'dream o'what'cha lack
Meanwhile, y'quietly sleepin' soun'ly

Drive

Gonna get in my car, drive away
Drive so far, no one's gonna find me
Put my foot on the gas, accelerate
Drive so fast, no one's gonna catch me

Gonna get in my car, drive away (Drive away)
Drive so far, no one's gonna find me
Put my foot on the gas, accelerate
Drive so fast, no one's gonna catch me
No one's gonna catch me, no one's gonna catch me,
no one's gonna catch me, no one's gonna catch me

Simple Pleasures

C'mon now sing it now
Sing it with me now
Tell 'em brother Bobby
I like to get up early in the morning about six a.m. to be exact (That's early)
I have this chair I like to sit down in
I got the good book to sit down and read
Get my day started in the right way
I got these two little boys, Taylor and Jevona too
I call them in the morning
I say, "Boys get up it's time for school"
And they get on their clothes
I pour the cereal out and the sugar too, yes indeed

And I call my baby
"Baby" I say, "Debbie get up, get up
It's time to get yourself together
It's such a beautiful day outside"
Simple pleasures are the best
Yes they are
I'm so happy
I'm a happy man
Yes I am
Yes I am (Yes I am)
I'm so happy
Simple pleasures are the best
Hell yeah
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
Yes I am (Yes I am)
Yes I'm so happy
Simple pleasures are the best
Simple pleasures are the best (Yes they are too)

Sunshine Of Your Love

Well it's getting near dawn when lights close their tired eyes
I'll soon be with you my love to give you my dawn surprise
I'll be with you darling soon
I'll be with you when the stars start falling

I've been waiting so long to be where I'm going in the sunshine of your love

I'm with you my love
The light's shining through on you
Yes, I'm with you my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darling now
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up

I've been waiting so long to be where I'm going in the sunshine of your love

Angry

Hold on now, don't die now, be strong now
He said, I was born a crack baby
In a plastic bag in the alley
Raised in a foster home
With no mother to love and I never knew my papi
Back in the days of Bobby McFerrin
Used to sing don't worry, be happy
Lord how can I be happy
When I don't even know my own family tree Lord

We are the next generation, we ain't scared to die
The only thing I fear is the after life
Cos I don't know what's there on the other side
But I pray the Lord forgives me, gives me one more try

Gang poppin' things, doing drive-by's and angers
Kids going to school putting fears in their teacher
The teacher let them know that it ain't all good
Cos the gang was created to protect the neighborhood, now
All you red now, all you blue now
All you yellow now, follow me now
To that place of righteousness
Where the only thing that matters is your consciousness, he said

We are the next generation, we ain't scared to die
The only thing I fear is the after life
Cos I don't know what's there on the other side
But I pray the Lord forgives me, gives me one more try

In my father's kingdom there are many mansions
All the rooms are free, there is no tax collection
I can see Biggie, Tupac, Moses and Abraham
Jason, the one and two's, jamming with the sun of man

I've been kicked, I've been stabbed
I've been shot, I've been ? by a
Person that I thought I trusted, where I live
It's a war at the cribs, walk with a strap
Myself cos I don't want nobody's son on my back
My mind playing tricks ?, to really ?
Me out in five unless I take another hit
I done seen the sun set on the other side of town
Now I'm drifting in the darkness, Heaven hold me down
? ? ? But I know I'm born dying
Feel the tears of the angels looking down on me crying
For a lying ass but yo forgive us in a while
And I'm sorry, never let me forget that I'm your child
While I'm locked up in this basement staring eye to eye with Satan
In this cold dark world with no patience
We get plotted on by agents with talks of replacing
The Africans, Jamaicans and the Haitians in this next generation

We are the next generation, we ain't scared to die
The only thing I fear is the after life
Cos I don't know what's there on the other side
But I pray the Lord forgives me, gives me one more try

Whoa, we the next generation, look at what we facing
The kids raise themselves, all kind of temptation
Flowers and candles decorating all the pavements
No, the perpetrator ain't seeing no arrangements
Nobody cares about the feelings of the poor
Man they suffer while we spending eighty billion on a war, uh
Cutting school budgets, US stockmarket plummets
Condition's only worse and I wonder what become it
Metal detectors replace music classes
Angry little kids wanna beat their teacher's asses
The red and blue's, somebody gotta lose
Reality TV be reality for who
I don't question what the Lord found in me
I just pass it on to folks with no boundaries
Got a long road ahead of us, AIDS already gettin' us
Now we got stars, how many will there be left of us

We are the next generation, we ain't scared to die
The only thing I fear is the after life
Cos I don't know what's there on the other side
But I pray the Lord forgives me, gives me one more try
