Don’t Worry, Be Happy By Bobby McFerrin – My Love Playlist

When I was in high school, I went and saw Bobby McFerrin perform live. He didn’t even sing this song because he didn’t bring any back up singers, and in the recording, he sings 7-8 different parts! He can’t sing it without 8 of him. That was a bummer, but the rest of the concert was spectacular. I had forgotten about this song and I’m so glad one of my friends recommended I add it to my Love Playlist! Excellent idea! Such a great message.

I need this phrase “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” tattooed on my forehead. My knee-jerk is always worry. I worry about everything. Especially in the middle of the night if I wake up. But worrying never helps! Worrying doesn’t change the future; it steals the present moment. You can’t think about the future and the present at the same time. You can’t BE present and worry about the future. So I have to practice shifting to the present moment. Connecting to my breath and taking deep long breaths helps get me there. And then if I get caught in the worry trap in the middle of the night and all I want to do is go back to sleep, I think about my goals. I visualize what I want the future to look like and I visualize me accomplishing those goals, whatever they are: family trips I want to go on, land I would like to own someday, our upcoming honeymoon in February (we’d thought we’d finally do a honeymoon now that we’ve been married 7 years. 😂😂)

It really helps! If you’re feeling worried or anxious, try putting on some fun uplifting music and visualize the future you want to create. and take deep deep breaths.

Here’s a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don’t worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don’t worry, be happy
Don’t worry, be happy now

Don’t worry
Be happy
Don’t worry, be happy
Don’t worry
Be happy
Don’t worry, be happy

Ain’t got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don’t worry, be happy
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don’t worry, be happy

Oh, don’t worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number, when you worry, call me

I make you happy, don’t worry, be happy
Don’t worry, be happy
Ain’t got no cash, ain’t got no style
Ain’t got no gal to make you smile
Don’t worry, be happy
‘Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don’t worry, be happy

Don’t worry, be happy now

Don’t worry
Be happy
Don’t worry, be happy
Don’t worry
Be happy
Don’t worry, be happy

Now there, is this song I wrote
I hope you learned note for note
Like good little children, don’t worry, be happy
Now listen to what I said, in your life expect some trouble
When you worry you make it double
But don’t worry, be happy, be happy now

Don’t worry
Be happy
Don’t worry, be happy

Don’t worry
Be happy
Don’t worry, be happy

Don’t worry, don’t worry
Don’t worry, don’t do it, be happy
Put a smile in your face
Don’t bring everybody down like this

Don’t worry
It will soon pass, whatever it is
Don’t worry, be happy
I’m not worried, I’m happy
