Lyrics:

Things do go wrong, it's not long since I've been blue,
But I know the remedy, I can see just what to do...

Don't be a coward, don't be yellow,
It always pays to be mellow,
Stay cool, stay free and then you will see,
It's best to stay mellow...

I was upset and in debt with no money,
But I did not stay sad, it's not that bad, so remember...

Oh if you are down in the town with no bus fare,
Start walking and smile, in a while you'll be back home...
