When life reaches
out and takes you
On an unpleasent ride
And your bridge
of dreams comes
Tumblin' down
Don't let your bed of sorrow
Ever conquer your pride
Remember there's
always a way out
Just take up a
course in happiness
Take up a course to
clear out your mind
You will show
yourself how to smile
Take up a course in happiness
Take up a free
instruction in life
You will learn how to smile
And when your optimism
Has a set back or two
And you feel all
your tryin's in vain
Your heart's in the rain
Don't give up the hope
that's due you
Just to study your doubt
Remember there's
always a way out
Just take up a course
in happiness
Take up a course to
clear out your mind
You will show yourself
how to smile
Take up a course in happiness
Take up a free
instruction in life

clear out your mind
