Here is 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  
When you worry you make it double  
Don’t worry, be happy…

Standin’ there by the window  
Starin’ out at the night  
You’ve got so many troubles  
On your nervous mind  
But don’t worry baby  
It’s gonna work out fine

Hush now baby, baby don’t you cry  
Mama’s gonna make all your nightmares come true  
And mama’s gonna put all hher fears into you  
Mama’s gonna keep you safe under her wing

Mamma’s gonna keep baby comfy and warm  
And ooh baby  
Ooh bayby  
Ooh baby, of course mama’s gonna help build the wall

I am a Rock; I am an Island.  
And a Rock feels no pain,  
And an Island never cries.

I’m not in love, so don’t forget it  
It’s just a silly phase I’m going through  
And just because I call you up  
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you’ve got it made.

And I’m gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket  
But I’ve got to get a move on with my life  
It’s time to be a big girl now  
And big girls don’t cry.

I was just a skinny lad  
Never knew no good from bad  
But I knew life before I left my nursery  
Left alone with big fat Fanny  
She was such a naughty nanny  
Heap big woman, you made a bad boy out of me

Well I could not help it but to fall in love  
With this heavy-duty woman I been speakin’ of  
Things looked kind of bad until the day she skated into my life  
Well she might be nasty, she might be fat  
But I never met a person who would tell her that  
She’s my bleach-blonde bomber, my heavy handed Hackensack mama

When I first got to London it was pourin’ down rain  
Met a little girl in the field canteen  
Painted het name on the nose of my plane  
Six more missions, I’m gone

Well I asked if I could stay and she said that I might  
Then the warden came around yelling “turn out the lights”  
Death rainin’ out of the London night  
We made love 'til dawn

The streets of town were paved with stars,  
It was such a romantic affair.  
And as we kissed and said goodnight,  
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

When dawn came stealing up, all gold and blue  
To interrupt our rendez-vous,  
I still remember how you smiled and said,  
“Was that a dream? Or was it true?”

But in your dreams, whatever they be,  
Dream a little dream of me.

Jean, Jean, roses are red  
All the leaves have gone green  
And the clouds are so low  
You can touch them and so  
Come out to the meadow, Jean.

So don’t you sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed  
I’m here to answer all your midnight prayers  
You got me bona fide certified  
You got a genie for your charge d’affaires  
I got a powerful urge to help you out  
So what’s your wish? I really wanna know  
You got a list that’s three miles long, no doubt  
Well, all you gotta do is rub like so

I’m gonna come for you like a thief in the nighttime  
I’m gonna creep up to your side  
I’m gonna bring relief to you at the right time  
And there’s no place that you can hide  
Let me be the one you’re dreaming of  
Let me be your incubus of love

Last night I had a crazy dream  
About a chick in a black bikini  
Oh, she looked so good  
She couldn’t be real  
She must be a magic genie  
But then she disappeared around the corner  
All I saw were three doors  
And the top of her bikini  
I made it through the first door  
There was a party going on  
I asked about the chick  
But what they said was freaky

Open up the window, let some air into this room  
I think I’m almost chokin’ from the smell of stale perfume  
And that cigarette you’re smokin’ 'bout scare me half to death  
Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath

The atmosphere was getting thick, the guy beside me looking sick  
I would’ve helped, at least I thought I ought to  
He flashed me an appealing grin, I stopped and took the feeling in  
I wasn’t sure, but something told me not to

Well I shoulda gotten off a couple miles ago  
But I couldn’t get to the door  
There’s hadly any room in here to breathe  
And now we’re gonna pick up more
