I Whistle a Happy Tune

I Whistle a Happy Tune - Marni Nixon/Rex Thompson/Yul Brynner

Whenever i feel afraid

I hold my head erect

And whistle a happy tune

So no one will suspect i'm afraid

While shivering in my shoes

I try to tell each toe

And whistle a happy tune

And no one ever knows i'm afraid

The result of this deception

Is very strange to tell

For when i fool the people i fear

I fool myself as well

I whistle a happy tune

And every single time

The happiness in the tune convinces me

That i'm not afraid

Make believe you're brave

That's the trick to take you far

You may be as brave as you make

Believe you are

You may be as brave as you

Make believe you are

Whenever i feel afraid

I hold my head erect

And whistle a happy tune

So no one will suspect i'm afraid

While shivering in my shoes

I try to tell each toe

And whistle a happy tune

And no one ever knows i'm afraid

The result of this deception

Is very strange to tell

For when i fool the people i fear

I fool myself as well

I whistle a happy tune

And every single time

The happiness in the tune convinces me

That i'm not afraid

Make believe you're brave

That's the trick to take you far

You may be as brave as you make believe you are

You may be as brave as you make believe you are
