Early one morning when day was dawning a little girl got out of bed
Not on the right side not on the bright side
With cobwebs in her sleepy head

In a bad mood in a sad mood to the wild wood went for a walk
When her mother asked about her never answered didn't talk

Suddenly she felt so lonely and the forest was oh so still
Never looked where she was going and she stumbled and she fell

And she laid there so afraid there and the world didn't seem so nice
Then a black crowned little tchagra
Gave her some good advice

Here's an earful don't be fearful just be careful what you do
What I say is true
Don't be tearful just be cheerful life is beautiful hear what I say
Life is beautiful in every way

She was lying there and crying and the tears rolled down her face
And the bird said look around you
The world's such a lovely place

Then she walked home to her dear mom who was waiting at the door
And she hugged her and she kissed her
Said we were worried where you were

Here's an earful don't be fearful just be careful what you do
What I say is true
Don't be tearful just be cheerful life is beautiful hear what I say
Life is beautiful in every way

For the learnin' it's a lesson just be happy don't be sad
Always count your blessings there are more good things than bad

There's a need to do a good deed to
Somebody every day
Just be careful not to be hurtful
In all things you do and say

Here's an earful don't be fearful just be careful what you do
What I say is true
Don't be tearful just be cheerful life is beautiful hear what I say
Life is beautiful in every way
