I WHISTLE A HAPPY TUNE

Whenever I feel afraid

I hold my head erect

and whistle a happy tune,

so noone will suspect I'm afraid

While shivering in my shoes

I strike a careless pose

and whistle a happy tune

and noone ever knows

I'm afraid

The result of this deception is very strange to tell

for when I fool the people I fear,

I fool myself as well!

I whistle a happy tune

and every single time

the happiness in the tune

convinces me that I'm

not afraid!
