When life is getting you down ,

All around you you see outhers ,

Geting a right kicking from life ,

All you see is face's long ,

Down in the mouth , looking glum ,

Black and blue cloud's above each head,

You see ,

Give each one you see a smile ,

Start talking , crack a joke ,

Wear a silly hat ,I do ,

Cars drive past , driver's hit's the horn

Passengers , with head's out the window ,

Shouting , jeering , laughing , having fun ,

Young kid's and those kids at hart ,say: ,

''Like your cowboy hat mister / mate'' ,

'It's , not a cowboy hat!'' , ''it's an Aussie bush hat! '',

I retort , with a grin ,

Shake the hand of a bloke , who says with no prompting ,

''like your Aussy hat'' ,

Just what I have me peanut size head in husk like ,

Laugh at your self ,

Don't take your self so seriously ,

Supermarket can be greet fun , a lady like woman drops ,

Something on the floor , I say , '' oh heck '' or similar ,

''Thought I'd save you the trouble , love'' ,

Very British I agree ,

Try saying that in the dear old U S of A , you'd , could soon end

Up laughing oln the other side of your chops , OK, translation ,

''On the other side of your face'' ,

Or if by chance you drop a bottle of kech up ,

Look like thunder , take a deep breath , then ,

Say , '' '' oh dear I appear , to have dropped my bottle of ketchup'',

'' Oh well no point in crying over spilt tomato source,

Some may think that's a bit sourcey,

So , lets face it , life is a serious businesses , far too serious too be

Taken THAT serious ,

So , lets smile , have a laugh , have a laugh on me , at my expense,

I don't mind,

At all.
