SONG LYRICS by James Limborg:
VERSE 1:
Here's a little song Top Jimmy wrote,
you might want to sing it note for note.
Don't worry, be happy. VERSE 2:
I know you think this is probably stupid,
but I had nothing better to do on a Monday night.
Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry be happy now. CHORUS 1:
Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry be happy now.
Don't worry, be happy.
That's what Top Jimmy says. VERSE 3:
You say you want to play the guitar,
but there's a chance you won't go far.
Don't worry, be happy. VERSE 4:
And when you're jammin' to your favorite song,
you think to yourself that you're playin' it wrong.
Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry be happy now! CHORUS 2:
Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry be happy now.
Don't worry, be happy.
Now here's Top Jimmy jammin'. [James Limborg's rock guitar solo]
Here we go. CHORUS 3:
Don't worry, just be happy.
Don't worry be happy now.
Don't worry. Don't do it! Just be happy.
Don't worry be happy now. VERSE 5:
I guess it's time to end this song,
because I might be singing it wrong,
but don't worry, just BE happy!
Bye Bye now.
In 1984 I gave myself the stage name Top Jimmy. I no longer go by that name.
This song was recorded at my house located at 1324 32nd Av NW, New Brighton, Minnesota 55412 (Photo on LEFT).
My friend Steve Anderson and I recorded our song's titled 'Blue Sky' and 'Into Your Heart' in this 16-track studio as well.
