Put On A Happy Face, written by Joan Frey Boytim and Thomas Arne, was originally featured in the musical Bye Bye Birdie. Composed by lyricist Lee Adams and music by Charles Strouse, the song is set in the key of E-flat major and C minor, and has a total of 73 measures. This uplifting, upbeat track features a light, positive and melodic melody that dances over a bright, bright accompaniment of modal harmonies. Its catchy chorus of "Put on a happy face, don a cheerful expression, Put on a happy face, and show the world a ray of cheer, Don’t let them know you’re blue, just put on a happy face" never fails to give its listeners a boost of energy.Put On A Happy Face – Joan Frey Boytim, Thomas Arne (Piano Vocal)
