Beneath the weight of the world I can be found
Among the chaos and the wheel, scattered all around
On the wild windy wave I'm tossed, cast away and lost,
Now I understand what those sad songs say
Make up your mind to be happy,
Life is a merry-go-round
If you miss out this time,
Don't let it fret your mind,
Love will come round in the end
Make up your mind to be happy,
Life is a merry-go-round
If an' you miss out this time,
Don't let it fret your mind,
Love will come round in the end
Between the devil and the deep blue we find ourselves
Often Out of the frying pan and into, left on the shelf
Borne willy nilly here and there when our hearts are full of care,
Oh my, now we understand what those sad songs say,
Sad, sad songs they say
Make up your mind to be happy,
Life is a merry-go-round
If an' you miss out this time,
Don't let it fret your mind,
Love will come round in the end
Makin' up your mind to be happy
You've gotta make up your mind
Makin' up your mind
Makin' up your mind
Makin' up your mind
Makin' up your mind
Make up your mind to be happy
