Put on a Happy Face
Part I
Part II
Grey skies are gonna clear up.
Brush off the clouds and cheer up.
Take off that gloomy mask of tragedy
You’ll look so good that you’ll be glad
Decided to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook.
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look.
And spread sunshine all over the place.
Just put on a happy face!
Grey skies are gonna clear up.
Brush off the clouds and cheer up.
And if you’re feelin’ cross and bitterish,
Think of banana splits and licorice
And you’ll feel fine!
I knew a girl so gloomy.
She wouldn’t listen to me.
So spread sunshine all over the place.
Just put on a happy, not sad and sappy,
Put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face!
It’s not your style.
You’ll look so good that you’ll be glad you
Decided to smile!
Stick out that noble chin.
Slap on a happy grin,
And spread sunshine over the place.
Just put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face!
Don’t sit and whine.
Think of banana splits and licorice
And you’ll feel fine!
She’d never laugh or sing.
Now, she’s a mean old thing!
So spread sunshine all over the place.
Just put on a happy, Not sad and sappy,
Put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face!

Another Op’nin, Another Show
Part I
Another op’nin, another show,
In Philly, Boston, or Baltimore,
A chance for stage folks to say “Hello,”
Another op’nin of another show.
Another job that you hope, at last,
Will make your future forget your past.
Another pain where the ulcers grow,
Another op’nin of another show!
Four weeks, you rehearse and rehearse,
Three weeks and it couldn’t be worse.
One week, will it ever be right?
Then out of the hat, it’s that big first night!
The overture is about to start,
You cross your fingers and hold your heart.
It’s curtain time and away we go,
Another op’nin of another show!
‘Nother op’nin, ‘nother op’nin,
‘Nother op’nin, ‘nother op’nin,
‘nother op’nin, ‘nother op’nin,
‘nother op’nin night.
‘nother op’nin, ‘nother op’nin,
‘nother op’nin night,
‘nother op’nin, ‘nother op’nin,
Sayin “hello”,
Another op’nin of another show.
Another job that you hope, at last,
Will make your future forget your past.
Another pain where the ulcers grow,
Another op’nin of another show.

Why We Sing
By Greg Gilpin
Solo:
A sound of hope, a sound of peace,
A sound that celebrates and speaks
What we believe.
A sound of love, a sound so strong.
It’s amazing what is given
when we share a song.
Part I & Part II
(Chorus)
This is why we sing,
Why we lift our voice,
Why we stand as one in harmony.
This is why we sing,
Why we lift our voice.
Take my hand and sing with me.
Soothe a soul, mend a heart,
Bring together lives that
Have been torn apart.
Share the joy, find a friend,
It’s a never-ending gift
That circles back again.
(Chorus)
Music builds a bridge,
It can tear down a wall.
Music is a language
That can speak to one and all!
(Chorus)
This is why we sing!
We sing! We sing!
Descant:
This is why we sing,
Why we lift our voice,
Why we stand in,
Stand in harmony.
This is why we sing,
Why we lift our voice.
Take my hand and sing with me.
This is why, This is why we sing!
