Lyrics
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT
Roger Ferguson/Billy Anderson
Growing up, a million times I heard my daddy say
To mama when she got perplexed on any given day
If she was just uneasy or immobilized with dread
He said ain't nothing in this whole world worth worryin' your pretty head
Don't worry about it
Don't worry about it
If you can do something about it,
then do something about it
But, if you can't, my friend
Don't worry about it
No no - Don't worry about it
A friend of mine was in a bind, his money tight you see
He had apprehension, fear, dismay, and high anxiety
I told him, If you had a warehouse stacked to the roof with dough
Don't make no difference in the long run, You can't take it with you when you go
Chorus
A lovely girl was much disturbed about the lines around her eyes
And the gray streaks creeping in her hair much to her surprise
She used makeup, dyes and exercise her assets to enhance
I told her, Baby, don't worry about gettin? old-- You might not get the chance
Chorus
Concern won't make you tall, or young , or rich, or thin, or smart
Distress can't get you happiness or mend that broken heart
Anguish- it won't bring you love, security, or peace
There just one way I know for sure your soul can find release
Don't worry about it
Don't worry about it
If you can do something about it, then do something about it
But, if you can't, my friend
Don't worry about it
No no - Don't worry about it
