Lyrics
Walter: Once I met a happy little bluebird He was just as blue as he could be In a little while He began to smile When he sang this merry song to me: “Just let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day ...”

Sam the Eagle: [interrupting angrily] What is this? Hey, hold it! [Music ends.] Walter!

Walter: Oh, hi, Sam.

Sam the Eagle: You are ruining a perfectly rotten rainy day with that sweet little song of yours!

Walter: Oh?

Sam the Eagle: That’s not how it goes! It goes like this:

[singing as music starts again]

Just let a frown be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day And if your grouchie cries, just tell her that a frown will always pay Whenever skies are gray, don’t worry or fret A frown will bring the raindrops, and you’ll always get wet So let a frown be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day! (spoken) Okay, now try it, Walter.

Walter: (spoken) Okay, here we go. (singing) Just let a frown be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day

Sam the Eagle: And if your grouchie cries, just tell her that a frown will always pay

Walter: Whenever skies are gray, don’t worry or fret

Sam the Eagle: A frown will bring the raindrops, and you’ll always get wet

Sam the Eagle and Walter : So let a frown be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day!

[Music ends.]

Sam the Eagle: Now you got it, Walter?

Walter: Yeah, but ... I’m not sure I like it.
