Jump For Joy – Lyrics

People have misunderstandings
Of what life is all about
They put values in the wrong things
And in happiness they lose out

’Cause being happy is a feeling
This is all a frame of mind
And every moment you feel sad and blue
You could be having a real good time

Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, you’ll fell better
And have the best time you ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had

Do it, do it, do it, do it

There is no sense in worrying
’Cause that won’t solve a thing
Chances are whatever’s worrying you
Is not as bad as it seems

Being down won’t last forever
’Cause nothing stays the same
You will have a bright tomorrow
There’s always sunshine after rain

Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I know you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I know you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had

You just got to, you just got to
Come on, yeah, come on, yeah, yeah
Why don’t, why don’t

Why don’t you jump for joy
Why don’t you jump for joy, yeah, come on
Why don’t, why don’t
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you’ve ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy
Come on
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you’ve ever had
