Song: "When the Red, Red Robin" ()

Al Jolson

I heard a robin this morning,
 I'm feeling happy today.
I'm gonna put my cares in a whistle,
 Blow them all away.

What if I've been unlucky,
 Really I ain't got a thing.
But there's a time I'll always feel happy
 As happy as a king.

When the red, red robin
 Comes bob, bob, bobbin' along, along,
There'll be no more sobbin'
When he starts throbbin'
 His old, sweet song.
Wake up, wake up,
 You sleepyhead.
Get up, get up,
 Get out of bed.
Cheer up, cheer up,
 The sun is red.
Live, love, laugh and be happy!

What if I've been blue,
Now I'm walking through
 Fields of flowers.
Rain may glisten,
But still I listen,
 For hours, and hours.
I'm just a kid again,
Doin' what I did again,
 Singin' a song.
When the red, red robin
 Comes bob, bob, bobbin' along.

When the red, red robin
 Comes bob, bob, bobbin' along, along.
There'll be no more sobbin'
When he starts throbbin'
 His old, sweet song.
Wake up, wake up,
 You sleepyhead.
Cheer up, cheer up,
 The sun is red.
Cheer up,
 Oh, get out of bed.
Live, love, laugh and be happy!

What if I've been blue,
Now I'm walking through
 Fields of flowers.
Rain may glisten,
But still I listen,
 For hours, and hours.
I'm just a kid again,
Doin' what I did again,
 Singin' a song.
When the red, red robin
 Comes bob, bob, bobbin' along.
