I Whistle a Happy Tune (from 'The King and I') Songtext
von Rodgers & Hammerstein

ANNA

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!

And ev′ry 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

LOUIS

While shivering in my shoes
I strike a careless pose
And whistle a happy tune
And no one ever knows,
I′m afraid.

LOUIS AND ANNA

The result of this deception
Is very strange to tell
For when I fool the people
I fear I fool myself as well!

And ev′ry 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...
