Get Yourself a New Broom

Harold Arlen, Ted Koehler

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Take your last red penny
Borrow some if you haven't any
Buy yourself a new broom
Sweep the blues away
Spend a half a dollar
If you don't, you're a horse's collar
Tidy up that blue room
And keep the blues away

[Bridge]
Unless I missed my guest
Happiness doesn't hide around corners
Get wise, use your eyes
Maybe you'll get a pleasant surprise

[Verse 2]
Change that hard-luck story
Everything will be hunky-dory
Get yourself a new broom
And sweep the blues away

[Instrumental]
