Whenever I feel afraid I hold my head erect

And whistle a happy tune

So no one will suspect I'm afraid



While shivering in my shoes I strike a careless pose

And whistle a happy tune

And no one ever knows I'm afraid



The result of this deception is very strange to tell

For when I fool the people I fear

I fool myself as well



I whistle a happy tune and every single time

The happiness in the tune

Convinces me that I'm not afraid



Make believe you're brave and the trick will take you far

You may be as brave

As you make believe you are



You may be as brave

As you make believe you are



I don't think I'll ever be afraid again



While shivering in my shoes I strike a careless pose

And whistle a happy tune

And no one ever knows I'm afraid



The result of this deception is very strange to tell

For when I fool the people I fear

I fool myself as well



I whistle a happy tune and every single time

The happiness in the tune

Convinces me that I'm not afraid



Make believe you're brave and the trick will take you far

You may be as brave

As you make believe you are



You may be as brave

As you make believe you are
