High is better than low
Joy is better than woe
Glad is better than sad
And just in case you didn't know
Up is better than down
Smile is better than frown
Don't be dragging your fearful, tearful face
Around the town
If your spirit is bubbly
You'll win many a friend
Bubbly is better than troubly
So I recommend
Somewhere ever you go
High is better than low
You'd be better
If you say it so
Warm is better than cold
Young is better than old
Swim is better than sink
And so I think you should be told
Laugh is better than cry
Live is better than die
Melancholy is just a folly
No one will deny
If you haven't an inkling
How to banish the tear
You can learn in a twinkling
Starting right from here
Sing wherever you go
High is better than low
You'd be better
If you say it so
