I've got a frown, you've got a frown
All God's children got a frown on their face
Take no chance with that frown
A song and a dance, turn it upside down

Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, zazoo, zazoo
All God's children got rhythm, all God's children got swing
Maybe haven't got money, maybe haven't got shoes
All God's children got rhythm for to push away their blues

All God's children got trouble, troubles don't mean a thing
When they start to go hoh-hoh-hoh
The old troubles bound to go 'way, say
All God's children got swing
