I get tired and upset And I'm trying to care a little less When I Google I only get depressed I was taught to dodge those issues I was told Don't worry Cos no doubt There's always something to cry about And when your stuck in an angry crowd They don't think what they say before they open their mouth You gotta Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag And bury them beneath the sea I don't care what the people may say What the people may say about me Pack Up your troubles get your old grin back Don't worry bout the cavalry I don't care what the whisperers say Cos they whisper too loud for me Hot topic Maybe I should drop it It's a touchy subject And I like to tiptoe round the ship going down You got pennies but no pounds So if your business is running out It's not business to talk about But they don't think what they say before they open their mouth You gotta Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag And bury them beneath the sea I don't care what the people may say What the people may say about me Pack up your troubles get your old grin back Don't worry bout the cavalry I don't care what the whisperers say Cos they whisper too loud for me Tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag And bury them beneath the sea I don't care what the people may say What the people may say about me Pack up your troubles get your old grin back Don't worry bout the cavalry I don't care what the whisperers say Cos they whisper too loud for me Yeah Pack up, pack up, pack up, pack up Pack up, pack up, pack up, pack up Pack up, pack up, pack up, pack up Pack up, pack up, pack up, pack up
