Lyrics
- There’s a happy phrase that has brighten’d all our days
It has turned the darkest sorrow into song
It’s many years since Armentieres
But through the years it still appears
That happy phrase is “Carry On”
Chorus
Laugh at your troubles, they are only bubbles
Carry On! Carry On! Carry On!
Keep on smiling, all your care beguiling
Carry On! Carry On! Carry On!
The sun is shining above the darken’d sky
Just stop repining, the clouds will soon roll by
So, laugh at your troubles, they are only bubbles
Carry On! Carry On! Carry On!
- If you’re feeling blue and good luck has passed by you
And you need a peg to hang your courage on
Though things go wrong, come join the throng
That sing this song and jog along
Keep smiling while you “Carry On”
