If you want to stay happy, start your day with a song
Always let your heart be glad to hear somebody sing along
Do the things that you love and love the things that you do!
Must be true - I heard it from Dr. Yazoo!
Try to learn from your heartaches, let your dreams have their day
When you're happy, greet the whole world in a big happy way
Don't worry too much, but you can cry when you're blue
Nothing new - just take it from Dr. Yazoo!

If you want to be rich, never think about money
If you want to be loved, give your love away free
What kind of doctor offers such advice as this to you?
Here's a clue - It sounds just like Dr. Yazoo!


Doctor, my heart, we say, Doctor, my soul!
Doctor, Doctor, please, help us grow old slow!
Doctor, my eyes, we say, Doctor, my hair!
Doctor, Doctor, everything's in need of repair!

Then he calms us down and asks about the things we enjoy!
Says whenever you can, be amused, not annoyed!
That's your secret prescription; that's all that you need to do
Just help yourself to miracles, says Dr. Yazoo!


So when you're with your loved ones, say yes more than no
Know when to hold on, and know when to let go
Remember the good old times, but welcome the new
Good for you - you listened to Dr. Yazoo!

If you want to be rich, never think about money
If you want to be loved, give your love away free
What kind of doctor offers such advice as this to you?
Here's a clue - It sounds just like Dr. Yazoo!

If you want to see a lot of faces smiling at you
Give your smile first, see if that won't do
Live better, maybe longer with a sunnier view
When you do - don't forget to thank Dr. Yazoo!

Remember to thank Dr. Yazoo!
