You can sing (and dance) along to this one... It's based off of a music video called 'Chorosho,' by the fabulous Benny Friedman. (It's the 5:20 version, set in the early 1900's in New York City). Hope you enjoy it...

I wake up, to celebrate the morning It's gonna be, a beautiful day Birds are singing, without warning I'll take my pills, last night or yesterday You know I've got, no patience for complaining Who gives a hoot, if cats and dogs it's raining Even if, the sunshine is abstaining Deep in my heart, it never went away How do you do, How do you do I want to see the real you Shout for joy, dance and sing Positivity's the thing! So get up, put on your best smile Take a run, even go a mile Wave Hi to folks, you see in the turnstiles Hop, skip and jump, you are so versatile How do you do, How do you do I want to see the real you Shout for joy, dance and sing Positivity's the thing!

Yes, positivity’s the thing! With blurry eyes I got a start to my day, with exercise! Let’s dance and sing. By golly, it brings paradise into full swing.

Not familiar with the tune Gershon, you should attach an mp3 file of you singing it. Lol Tom
