Henry Mancini
Free and Easy
Life is a merry merry-go-round
Try to learn the secret I have found
Free and easy, easy and free
That's the way it's gotta be

I saw the mornings covered with care
Suddenly my mind said, "No despair!"
Free and easy, easy and free
That's the way it's gotta be

Once I was so inclined to take life so seriously
Gee, but I'm glad to find there's a brand-new free me

Throw all your fears and doubts down the drain
Learn to see a sky where there's no rain
Free and easy, easy and free
That's the way it's gotta be

Once I was so inclined to take life so seriously
Gee, but I'm glad to find there's a brand-new free me

Throw all your fears and doubts down the drain
Learn to see a sky where there's no rain
Free and easy, easy and free
That's the way it's gotta be
That's the way it's gotta be
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's gotta be
