Beneath the weight of the world I can be found
Among the chaos and the wheel, scattered all around
On the wild windy wave I'm tossed, cast away and lost
Now I understand what those sad songs say

Make up your mind to be happy
Life is a merry-go-round
If you miss out this time
Don't let it fret your mind

Love will come round in the end

Make up your mind to be happy
Life is a merry-go-round
If an' you miss out this time
Don't let it fret your mind
Love will come round in the end

Between the devil and the deep blue we find ourselves
Often Out of the frying pan and into, left on the shelf
Borne willy nilly here and there when our hearts are full of care
Oh my, now we understand what those sad songs say

Sad, sad songs they say

Make up your mind to be happy
Life is a merry-go-round
If an' you miss out this time
Don't let it fret your mind
Love will come round in the end
Makin' up your mind to be happy
You've gotta make up your mind
Makin' up your mind
Makin' up your mind
Makin' up your mind
Makin' up your mind ...
Make up your mind to be happy
