LYRICS SONG by James Limborg:
VERSE 1:
Here's a little song Top Jimmy wrote,
you might want to sing it note for note.
Don't worry, be happy.
VERSE 2:
I know you think this is probably stupid,
but I had nothing better to do on a Monday night.
Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry be happy now.
CHORUS 1:
Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry be happy now.
Don't worry, be happy.
That's what Top Jimmy says.
VERSE 3:
You say you want to play the guitar,
but there's a chance you won't go far.
Don't worry, be happy.
VERSE 4:
And when you're jammin' to your favorite song,
you think to yourself that you're playin' it wrong.
Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry be happy now!
CHORUS 2:
Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry be happy now.
Don't worry, be happy.
Now here's Top Jimmy jammin'.
[James Limborg's rock guitar solo]
Here we go.
CHORUS 3:
Don't worry, just be happy.
Don't worry be happy now.
Don't worry. Don't do it! Just be happy.
Don't worry be happy now.
VERSE 5:
I guess it's time to end this song,
because I might be singing it wrong,
but don't worry, just BE happy!
Bye Bye now.
In 1984 I gave myself the stage name Top Jimmy. I no longer go by that name.
This song was recorded at my house located at 1324 32nd Av NW, New Brighton, Minnesota 55412 (Photo on LEFT).
My friend Steve Anderson and I recorded our song's titled Blue Sky and Into Your Heart in this 16-track studio as well.

Don't Worry Be Happy, Lyrics Song by Bobby McFerrin
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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS:
Look at me, I'm happy, 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
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
Don't worry, be happy
CHORUS:
Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it
Be happy, put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down
Don't worry, it will soon pass, whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
I'm not worried, I'm happy
