George Gershwin
Things Are Looking Up
[FRED]
If I should suddenly start to sing
Or stand on my head or do anything
Don't think that I've lost my sense
It's just that my happiness finally commences

The long, long ages of dark despair
Are vanishing into thin air
And it seems that suddenly I've
Become the happiest man alive

[FRED AND VIOLET]
Things are looking up
I've been looking the landscape over
And it's covered with four-leaf clover
Oh, things are looking up since love looked up at me

[FRED]
Bitter was my cup
But no more shall I be the mourner
For I've certainly turned the corner

[FRED AND VIOLET]
Oh, things are looking up since love looked up at me

[FRED]
Every sunbeam
Everyone beams
Just because of you
Love's in session
And my depression
Is unmistakably through
[MALE STUDENTS]
Things are looking up
It's a great little world we live
Oh, I'm happy as a pup
Since love looked up
At us

(Instrumental break)

[ALL]
Things are looking up
I've been looking the landscape over
And it's covered with four-leaf clover
Oh, things are looking up since love looked up at me
