Lyrics
When Luck forsakes you
And old Depression takes you in tow
Rise above it
Laugh it off and say, “What of it?”
Don’t dream of quitting
When trouble starts in hitting you low
Stick your chin out
Make your mind up that you’ll win out
The Navy gave you a motto
That can save you, I know, so
Refrain
Rise ‘n shine, stand up and take it
Rise ‘n shine, life’s what you make it
If gloom, the so-and-so
Should get you, as it soon does
Shout “Hi-de-ho-de-ho”
Do just as the moon does
Rise ‘n shine, don’t be a mourner
Things are fine around the corner
No harm to trying it,
There’s nothin’ to it,
You can do it like the sun
Rise ‘n shine
Performance
