I got a bluebird on my side
I got a smile a whole mile wide
I got a feeling that nothing can go wrong
If the good Lord looked down today
It was me he smiled upon
‘Cause I was born with a song
What a beautiful day
It must be the first of May
That winter chill is long and finally gone
If this life gets me down
I won’t be down too long
‘Cause I was born with a song
Got a song to make you happy
I got a song to make you sad
I got one that you can help me sing along
Got a song for young lovers
And one for old friends
The list just seems to go on and on
Throughout all these years
Through the laughter and the tears
You know that I’ve been lucky for so long
No matter how the chips fall
I got the best thing of all
‘Cause I was born with a song
So when St. Peter calls
Don’t worry for me at all
Don’t you cry no tears when I’m gone
When the wind blows through the trees
You’re gonna hear my melodies
Yeah I was born with a song
Yes I was born with a song
