When all the skies are grey and it's a rainy day
Think of the birdies in spring
When you're up to your neck in hot water
Be like the kettle, and sing.
Tell that umbrella man he's just an also ran
Think of a kid on a swing
When you're up to your neck in hot water
Be like the kettle, and sing.
You'll find that life's always got a funny side
So come over on the sunny side
And wear a great big smile, it makes your life worthwhile
You'll have the world on a string
When you're up to your neck in hot water
Be like the kettle, and sing.

When your troubles are boiling over
Consult this recipe
Everybody will be in clover
Happy as can be
When all the skies are grey and it's a rainy day
Think of the birdies in spring
When you're up to your neck in hot water
Be like the kettle, and sing.
Tell that umbrella man he's just an also ran
Think of a kid on a swing
When you're up to your neck in hot water
Be like the kettle, and sing.
You'll find that life's always got a funny side
So come over on the sunny side
And wear a great big smile, it makes your life worthwhile
You'll have the world on a string
When you're up to your neck in hot water
Be like the kettle, and sing.
