Trouble’s Just a Bubble

If you see a little cloud in the sky don’t cry __ Maybe flowers need a little rain
If you think you’re going to die Don’t sigh __ Maybe it was just a growing pain __

If the world is looking gray, Very gray to day __ Sunshine bright is sure to follow rain
So let us all cheer up & be gay & say __
Just the happy words of this refrain ____

REFRAIN
If you really root out trouble, you will find it’s just a bubble and your trouble will be double, If it’s
really just a bubble and a bubble’s never trouble if youre sane.
