[Verse 1]
How long shall you carry that burden on your shoulders?
How long shall those tears keep running down your beautiful face?
We all have troubles now and again, know what I'm saying?
No matter how hard you try
Trouble will find us one way or the other
People had troubles since the Pope was an alter boy
People had worries from when the Dead Sea was only critical
Hear those drums rolling and listen to those guitars skanking

[Pre-Chorus]
Put a smile on your face
Don't let the troubles get you down..
Shoop shoop doo be doo
Put a smile on your face
Don't let the troubles get you down

[Chorus]
Let me tell you how we feel
We feel irie (irie)
We feel irie (irie)
We feel irie (irie)
We feel so irie (irie)

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me now
Do you feel like we do? (tell me)
Do you feel like we do? (I say)
Do you feel like we do?
[Verse 2]
No man can hide from his fears
Since they are part him they always know where to find him
Come on walk tall and keep your head high
I tell you again and again...

[Pre-Chorus]
Put a smile on your face
Don't let the troubles get you down..
Shoop shoop doo be doo
Put a smile on your face
Don't let the troubles get you down
Shoop shoop doo be doo
