Jeffrey Lewis Try To Be Joyful
From the Album "Works by Tuli Kupferberg (1923-2010)" by Jeffrey Lewis
You can go at any time - You can go in any climb
You can go putting on your glove - You can go while you're makin' love
So-o try , try and try, try to be joyful-!
You can leave at 10 to 4
You can leave walking out the door
You can leave hearin' the sparrow cheep
You can leave while you're sound asleep
So try, try and try, try to be joyful - !
And you can go if you're the king of spain
You can go homeless in the rain
And you can go if you're elegant
And you can go if you're an elephant
So try, try and try, try to be joyful - !
You can go when you're 105
That is years or days alive
You never know when you will depart
While you're painting, or shopping-at-K-Mart
So try, try and try, try to be joyful - !
(Instrumental Solo)
Might be your last chance
To take that last dance
So take that last dance
Might be your last chance
And try, try and try, try to be joyful-!
And you can go while you sing this song
But let's not go before we sing this song
Cuz you can go while we sing this song
So let's not go before we sing this song
And try, try and try, try to be joyful-!
And try, try and try, try to be joyful-!
And try, try and try, try to be joyful-! Try to be joyful!
