Everything's Okay

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Throw a fear away today, everything's okay.
Let nothing dismay today, let nothing dismay.

Dance a lithe sashay today, everything's okay.
Let nothing waylay today, let nothing waylay.

Pick a fine bouquet today, everything's okay.
Let nothing delay today, let nothing delay.

Show a good display today, everything's okay.
Let nothing estray today, let nothing estray.

Give a droll touchT today, everything's okay.
Let nothing gainsay today, let nothing gainsay.

Make a big outlay today, everything's okay.
Let nothing repay today, let nothing repay.

Yell a glad hurray today, everything's okay.
Let nothing betray today, let nothing betray.
