You'Ve Got To Have a Memory Or Two
( To be sang to the tune of - " You've Got To Pick A
Pocket Or Two " - From the movie - Oliver! )
When this life
Gets you down,
You can turn
It around.
Keep a store of your funny times.
You've got to have a memory or two.
You don't have to feel so blue
You've got to have a memory or two.
Draw from the humour of times past.
You've got to have a memory or two!
When you start
Laughing loud,
Faces smile
In the crowd.
Laughter will spread like a virus
You've got to have a memory or two.
Yes your humour will get you through.
You've got to have a memory or two.
Spread your cheer to others too.
Giggle at your memory or two!
When they ask,
" What's funny? "
Then you tell
Your story.
Entertain all those asking you.
Share with them your memory or two.
Then they can laugh along with you
Because you have a memory or two.
A cheerful mood makes life so bright.
Aided by a memory or two.
You can do
Something good.
Inspire your
Neighborhood.
Help others find cheer on dreary days.
Ask them about their memory or two.
Listen and admire as they did you...
You've got to have a memory or two.
Yes your humour will get you through
When you focus on your memory or two!
