Animal Friends / With a Smile and a Song - Adriana Caselotti

Please don’t run away!

I won’t hurt you

I’m awfully sorry, I didn’t mean to frighten you

But you don’t know what I’ve been through!

And all because I was afraid

I’m so ashamed of the fuss I’ve made

What do you do when things go wrong?

(bird whistles)

Oh, you sing a song!

(vocalizing with birds whistling)

(sung)

With a smile and a song

Life is just a bright sunny day

Your cares fade away

And your heart is young

With a smile and a song

All the world seems to waken anew

Rejoicing with you

As the song is sung

There’s no use in grumbling

When raindrops come tumbling

Remember, you’re the one

Who can fill the world with sunshine

When you smile and you sing

Everything is in tune and it’s spring

And life flows along

With a smile and a song

(spoken)

I really feel quite happy now

I’m sure I’ll get along somehow!

Everything’s going to be all right

But I do need a place to sleep at night

I can’t sleep in the ground like you

Or in a tree the way you do!

And I’m sure no nest could possibly be big enough for me

Maybe you know where I can stay?

In the woods somewhere?

You do!

Will you take me there?
