This is a great song to play as the finale of a funeral or memorial service because it lifts the heavy mood and reminds everyone that life is too short to be sad. Get involved in life, be grateful and be positive because you only live once.
Lyrics
I was driving, driving, driving down the 101
Singing ‘California Dreaming’ at the top of my lungs
Unaware, not a care
And then he appeared
Singing ‘California Dreaming’ at the top of my lungs
Unaware, not a care
And then he appeared
Thought he was winding down his window just to say ‘hello’
But he started cussing at me, saying I’m going too slow
Then he yelled “Go to Hell”
And flipped me the bird
But he started cussing at me, saying I’m going too slow
Then he yelled “Go to Hell”
And flipped me the bird
Is it really that bad?
Really that bad
I don’t think it’s really that bad
Come on, get with it
Really that bad
I don’t think it’s really that bad
Come on, get with it
If you only think of things that you haven’t got
You could have it all and still never have enough
So don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
You could have it all and still never have enough
So don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
And if you’re trying to make a move
But you’re stuck in mud, under water
And you don’t know which way’s up
Yeah, don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
But you’re stuck in mud, under water
And you don’t know which way’s up
Yeah, don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
Another day, another plane, another interview
Just trying hard to get thru my list of things to do
What’s the use, might fake the flu
‘Cause I’ve had enough
Just trying hard to get thru my list of things to do
What’s the use, might fake the flu
‘Cause I’ve had enough
That’s it – screw the low carbs, where’s my KFC?
Ain’t gonna think about the bills or the GFC
Life is short – live it up
‘Cause we live it once
Ain’t gonna think about the bills or the GFC
Life is short – live it up
‘Cause we live it once
Is it really that bad?
Really that bad
I don’t think it’s really that bad
Come on, get with it
Really that bad
I don’t think it’s really that bad
Come on, get with it
If you only think of things that you haven’t got
You could have it all and still never have enough
So don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
You could have it all and still never have enough
So don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
And if you’re trying to make a move
But you’re stuck in mud, under water
And you don’t know which way’s up
Yeah, don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
But you’re stuck in mud, under water
And you don’t know which way’s up
Yeah, don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
Yeah life is short
We only get to live it once
So live and love
And give it all you’ve got
Yeah life is short
We only live it once
So live it up
We only get to live it once
So live and love
And give it all you’ve got
Yeah life is short
We only live it once
So live it up
Yeah life is short
We only get to live it once
So live and love
And give it all you’ve got
Yeah life is short
We only live it once
So live it up
We only get to live it once
So live and love
And give it all you’ve got
Yeah life is short
We only live it once
So live it up
Is it really that bad?
Yeah I don’t think it’s really that bad
If you only think of things that you haven’t got
You could have it all and still never have enough
So don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
Yeah I don’t think it’s really that bad
If you only think of things that you haven’t got
You could have it all and still never have enough
So don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
And if you’re trying to make a move
But you’re stuck in mud, under water
And you don’t know which way’s up
Don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
But you’re stuck in mud, under water
And you don’t know which way’s up
Don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
So don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy (be happy)
Don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy
Be happy, yeah
Don’t worry, be happy, don’t worry, be happy
Be happy, yeah
Don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy
Be happy, yeah
Don’t worry, be happy, don’t worry, be happy
Be happy, yeah
