When I’m Down, I Get Up and Dance Hap Palmer

When the rain is falling and I'm stuck inside the house
When friends are on vacation far away
When I see a movie that's so sad it makes me cry
I have a little trick that saves the day

When I'm down, I get up and dance
Kicking up my shoes and shaking off the blues
When I'm low, I reach for the stars
Soaring through the space with a smile upon my face
Dancing's really easy when you see the simple parts
There's stepping, and hopping, and bending, and stretching -
Oh, when I'm down, I get up and dance
Wouldn't you likе to join me, too?

When I'm sad I start out moving like a drooping willow tree
Whеn I'm mad I'm like a bull stung by a bee
I dance the feelings out and the sun shines in
And my heart starts picking up the beat

Oh, when I'm down, I get up and dance
Twirling 'round and 'round and rolling on the ground
When I'm low I reach for the stars
Soaring through the space with a smile upon my face
Dancing's really easy when you see the simple parts
There's twisting, and swinging, and jumping, and leaping -
Oh, when I'm down I get up and dance
Wouldn't you like to join me
Wouldn't you like to join me, too?
