Johnny Simmons never knew what he had until it blew up

And all came crashing ‘round his ears one sunny day of June

At first he didn’t know what to do, then he said, "I’ve been a fool.

Life could be much worse than this!" & he said down & sang this tune

Johnny Simmons born anew didn’t like some others do,

go through life with their eyes closed & never getting any clue

Learned his lesson, even two, passed it on for me & you

Life could be much worse than this, can you sing it, too?

(Chorus:)

(Cheer up! )Life could be much worse than this (2x)

So, cheer up, what have you got to lose? All you do in life is choose

Will you sing a happy song, or will you sing the blues?

It’s up to you, pick up the news, so what if life ain’t perfect, Dude?

Come on, sing & dance with us & just kick off your shoes

(Chorus)
