Chin Up!
[CHARLOTTE, spoken]
Do you want a friend?
[WILBUR, spoken]
Yes, I want a friend. But I want to live too
[CHARLOTTE, spoken]
Well, chin up! I'll be your friend
[CHARLOTTE, sung]
Chin up!
Chin up!
Everybody loves a happy face
Wear it
Share it
It'll brighten up the darkest place
Twinkle!
Sparkle!
Let a little sunshine in!
You'll be on the right side
Looking at the bright side
Up with your chinny-chin-chin
[WILBUR, spoken]
Will the party who addressed me last night kindly come out of hiding?
[RAM, spoken]
If you do have a friend, you're probably disturbing his rest
[WILBUR, spoken]
Oh
[CHARLOTTE, sung]
Chin up!
Chin up!
Put a little laughter in your eyes
Brave it
Save it
Even though you're feeling otherwise
Rise up!
Wise up!
Make a little smile begin!
You'll be happy-hearted
Once you get it started
Up with your chinny-chin-chin
[CHARLOTTE, spoken]
Salutations
[WILBUR, spoken]
Salu-what?
[CHARLOTTE, spoken]
Salutations
[WILBUR, spoken]
What are they? And where are you?
[CHARLOTTE, spoken]
Salutations are greetings. It's my fancy way of saying hello. Look up here in the doorway
[Chorus, sung]
Chin up!
Chin up!
Everybody loves a happy face
Wear it
Share it
It'll brighten up the darkest place
Twinkle!
Sparkle!
Let a little sunshine in!
You'll be on the right side
Looking at the bright side
Up with your chinny-chin-chin
[CHARLOTTE, sung]
Chin down you can't help frowning
Turn 'round, start in clowning
Think sad your troubles double
Think glad they burst like bubbles
Chin up!
Chin up!
Every little time your spirit's wilt
Chin up!
Chin up!
Give your attitude an upward tilt
Twinkle!
Sparkle!
Let a little fun begin!
You'll be on the right side
Looking at the bright side
Up with your chinny-chin
Chin up!
