I Whistle a Happy Tune [From the King & I] Lyrics

Whenever I feel afraid,
I hold my head erect
And whistle a happy tune,
So no-one will suspect
I'm afraid.

While shiverin' in my shoes,
I strike a careless pose
And whistle a happy tune,
So no-one ever knows
I'm afraid.

The result of this deception
Is very strange to tell,
For when I fool the people I fear,
I fool myself as well!

I whistle a happy tune,
And every single time
The happiness in that tune
Convinces me that I'm
Not afraid.

Make believe you're brave
And the trick will take you far;
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are!

You may be as brave
As you make believe you are!

Whenever I feel afraid,
I hold my head erect
And whistle a happy tune,
So no-one will suspect
I'm afraid.
