HOW TO PRAISE
In the deserts of the heart / Let the healing fountain start
in the prison of his days / Teach the free man how to praise:
—W. H. Auden
Sing Hallelujah/Happy Days Are Here Again
Forget your troubles and just get happy / Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing hallelujah, c’mon get happy / Get ready for the judgment day
Happy days are here again / The skies above are clear again
So let’s sing a song of cheer again / Happy days are here again
The sun is shinin’, c’mon get happy / The lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout hallelujah, c’mon get happy / We’re goin’ to the promised land
Altogether shout it now / There’s no one / Who can doubt it now
So let’s tell the world about it now / Happy days are here again
We’re headin’ ’cross the river / Gonna wash our sins in the tide
It’s all so peaceful / On the other side
Forget your troubles and just get happy / Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing hallelujah, c’mon get happy / Get ready for the judgment day
Happy days are here again / The skies above are clear again
So let’s sing a song of cheer again / Happy days are here again
—Jack Yellen
Happy times / Happy nights
Happy days / Are here again!
—Harold Arlen
