Cheer Up! - Babylon Circus

Cheer up, cheer up, cheer up We got work to do Cheer up now cheer up, cheer up And a long way to get thru.

Some people got nothing

Got no choice but to face tribulation

No food on di table dis morning

But ya must get force to overcome the situation

Must get some force

To overcome the situation

Must get force, to overcome

Overcome, overcome.

Some people got nothing at all

No time to complain, no time to shuffle

Every day dem haffi struggle fe survival

But give dem a smile, and they will give it to you double

Give dem a smile

And they give it to you, give it to you.

Some people, living in my neighbourhood

Got no big trouble which would make dem feel the plain

No problem on their way to find food

But dem always find a reason to complain.

Complain 'bout every law, complain 'bout every tax

Complain about work, complain about strikes

Complain on holidays, complain at christmas

Complain on motorways but dem never take this bus

Complain bout the sun, complain about the rain

Complain about every little thing they can’t explain

'Bout strangers, 'bout neighbours, 'bout little children making noise !

Complain, complain, complain, complain, complain about

Life…

&nbsp- &nbsp- &nbsp- &nbsp- &nbsp- &nbsp- &nbsp- &nbsp- Cheer up cheer up…

Some people get on well with progress

Getting big success with their own little business

Some a dem are sure it’s just because dem are di best

And fi more productivity, dem never get rest

Learning Babylon stategies

Getting some financial opportunities

Is that di only way to succeed?

Get more, more, more than just what we need,

Get more, get more, more than what we need,

Want more, want more, still disapointed !

Get more, get more, …

One day we get some thing, next day we look fe double,

See all what we can do with just a little.

One day we get peace, next day we look fi trouble,

See all what we got, and tell me why you grumble.

Grumble, grumble tell me why, tell me why…

Don’t forget what life is worth

Oh what a good thing to live up on the Earth !

Oh my people living in the North, don’t forget

Life…
