Not A Care In The World
Composer(s): Vernon Duke; John Latouche
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists
Though hope is low
Im aglow when you smile at me
Life is simple as A-B-C
Not a thought in my head
Not a care in the world
Though skies are grey
Im as gay as a Disney cow
Not a wrinkle upon my brow
Not a cent in the red
Not a care in the world
I view the scene like that queen of old Russia
As Kate the Great used to state long ago
"Nichevo!"
So if I move in a groove with a giddy trot
Im a trottin because Ive got
Not a bean in my pot
Not a care in the world
Though I cant jive
I revive when I see your face
Not a limp in my merry pace
Not a crimp in my style
Not a care in the world
Though Im a wreck
I can peck if you take a chance
Not a shine on my blue serge pants
Not a crack in my smile
Not a care in the world
Why should I fret when I bet on a sure thing?
Like Nick the Greek used to say every day
"Yip-i-ay!"
So if Im struttin with nuttin ahead in store
Theres a reason I said before
Ill repeat it once more
Not a care in the world
