And to my surprise He said buck up baby, cmon sic 'em Make 'em laugh if you can't lick 'em Keep on shining like you know you should Keep on shining that's the way to get 'em good So I put my shoes on And I walked out in the street The papers say we're on the way To starting world war three So I took the hand of my paper man Said, what we gonna do? He just started laughin He said I got news for you You better buck up baby, cmon sic 'em Make 'em laugh if you can't lick 'em Keep on shining like you know you should When it gets bad, that's the way to get 'em good Keep on shining like you know you should Keep on shining that'll get 'em good They got the money and they're never gonna get enough But honey we got the love And we got friends who come out swingin When we get hit we go home singin la la la Like we know we should When it gets bad, that's the way we get it good We sing buck up baby, cmon sic 'em Make 'em laugh if you can't lick 'em Keep on shining like you know you should Keep on shining that's the way to get 'em good Keep on shining, that'll get em good
