"Get Happy" - песня, написанная Гарольдом Арленом, слова которой написал Тед Келер. Это была первая песня, которую они написали вместе, и была представлена Рут Эттинг в The Nine-Fifteen Revue в 1930 году. В песне выражена тема госпел-музыки - стать счастливым, выражение религиозного экстаза в поисках спасения. Больше всего она ассоциируется с Джуди Гарленд, которая исполняла ее в своем последнем фильме MGM Summer Stock (1950) и в концертных выступлениях до конца жизни.
Текст песни[]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
All you sinners, gather 'round
Hallelujah, hallelujah
All you sinners, I have found
A land where the weary forever are free
Come you sinners and just follow me
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
You better chase all your cares away
Sing "hallelujah," come on, get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
The sun is shining, come on, get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Sing "hallelujah," come on, get happy
Get through to the promised land
We're heading 'cross the river
Wash your sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful on the other side
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
You better chase all your cares away
Sing "hallelujah," come on, get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
You call the doctor, he says, "Get happy"
When your delusions are getting low
You had a drink, now you're feeling happy
I'm betting on your afterglow
You hit your head on the roof, get happy
It rang your bell, you forgot your blues
'Cause I'll be smiling, yeah, babe, I'm happy
Your inhibition's coming loose
A fever or a flu can't compete with a silly bean
If a nice guy can lose, what's it matter if you win?
So many troubles, but you're so happy
You keep on dancing to find your way
You're such a marvel, come on, get happy
You're shining on your judgment day
Sing "hallelujah," come on, get happy
verse
We're heading 'cross the river
Wash your sins 'way in the tide
It's all so peaceful on the other side
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
You better chase all your cares away
Sing "hallelujah," come on, get happy
Get ready for the judgment, for the judgment day
