Une Étoile Est Née / A Star Is Born: The Long Face - Harold Arlen, Ira Gershwin, Judy Garland

If, as, and when you’ve got a long face

Rearrange it

Don’t be contented with the wrong face

There’s a way to change it

Does the day look painful?

The future glum?

Does the sky look rainful?

Hey there, say there, are you in a vacu-um?

All is stuff and nonsense

You can overcome

A long face gets you nowhere

You will lose that month of May

Like Peter Pan

The sweeter pan

Wins the day

So lose that long face

That long face

Go long and get that long face lost

The blues black out when they can see

A smile that says, «Move on, no vacancy!»

This panacea idea

I’m handing you without any cost

There isn’t any tax on it

So just relax on it

If you want trouble double-crossed

Don’t give into a frown

Turn that frown upside-down

And get yourself that long face lost

(instrumental break)

This panacea idea

I’m handing you without any cost

There isn’t any tax on it

So just relax on it

If you want trouble double-crossed

Don’t give into a frown

Turn that frown upside-down

And go and get yourself that long face

Get that long face

Go, go, go, and get that long face lost
