  • What's up guys this song is called don't worry you be happy it's by Bobby McFerrin and it's a super fun song

  • It's easy to learn and I think this song is gonna help you with your English a lot

  • So let's get started on the first verse

  • Now Bobby has kind of a unique

  • Accent so I'm going to repeat each line word-for-word

  • And then I'm going to repeat it again at normal speed

  • here's A

  • Little song I wrote

  • you might want to

  • Sing it note for Note

  • Here's a little song I wrote you might want to sing it note for note

  • Now pay attention to the way I pronounced all the words that ends with t wrote

  • might

  • want it

  • note note

  • I really don't even pronounce the t at the end of the words

  • And it's the same with the g at the end of song and sing now

  • let's talk a little bit about the phrase little song this song is almost five minutes long, so

  • It's not little what Bobby is saying here

  • Is that this is not the greatest song in the whole world? It's not really that important

  • It's just a little song and then he says sing it note for a note

  • Now that just means you're gonna sing it one note at a time

  • And this is comparable to the phrase

  • Word for word and word for word it just means you're going to speak

  • One word at a time

  • Don't worry

  • be happy

  • Don't worry be happy

  • Don't worry be happy

  • This is the Chorus, and it's two simple

  • Commands don't worry

  • be happy

  • this is two things he's telling you to do and

  • There's really not a whole lot more I can say about this so let's move on to the next verse in every life

  • We have some problem

  • When you letter you make?

  • In every life we have some trouble

  • But when you worry, you make it double

  • In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double

  • trouble just means problems or some bad things that might happen to you and

  • double means times two

  • so he's saying

  • everybody has

  • Problems, but when you worry you make it even worse in fact you make it two times as bad

  • It got no place to lay your head

  • Somebody came into your bed

  • ain't got no Place to

  • Lay your head

  • somebody came and

  • Took your bed

  • Ain't got no place to lay your head somebody came and took your bed

  • Now this is a very incorrect

  • sentence in the English language

  • Your english teacher might have a heart attack if she heard you say this sentence

  • But people do talk like this, so it's not wrong and what he's saying is

  • You don't have any place to lay your head?

  • He didn't include the subject in this sentence

  • And he didn't have to we know that the subject is supposed to be you because he says the word

  • You're later in the sentence

  • Ain't is a slang word for don't?

  • gut means have and

  • Since ain't is already in negation

  • We now have a double negative so that no should be any so what he's really saying is

  • you don't have any place to lay your head and

  • that just means you don't have a place to sleep and

  • then he says somebody came and took your bed and

  • that is a little bit of a silly sentence because it sounds like there was a thief that came and

  • Stole your bed, so I don't understand but that's what he says

  • the

  • Landlord say your rent is late. He may have to litigate

  • The landlord say your rent is late. He may have to litigate

  • Now the most important thing. I want to say about this sentence is that word say?

  • because that would drive your english teacher crazy if she heard you say that and

  • It really bothers me to but first. I want to talk about the word land Lord

  • The land Lord is the person that owns your apartment or your house

  • And you have to pay him in order to live there

  • In other words you rent your apartment or house

  • from him now normally rent is used as a verb but in this case rent is a noun and

  • It means the money that you pay to your landlord in

  • Order for him to let you live at his house

  • Now let's get back to that word say

  • Because the landlord is the subject of this sentence

  • So we should be using a third-person

  • verb now in English third-person verbs almost always end with an s

  • So instead of say this should be says

  • Now there are English speakers who talk like this, so I don't want to say it's wrong

  • But it's not real common, and I don't recommend you talk like this

  • so when you're listening to this song

  • And you hear this line just to remember to yourself that it should be says and not say

  • Now when he says that the rent is late

  • All he means is that you were supposed to pay the rent already

  • But you didn't so now it's late and don't worry too much about the word litigate

  • This is not a common word

  • Basically it means that the landlord might have to sue you because the rent is late, but again

  • It's fine, if you don't know what that word means now

  • I want to keep these videos nice and short

  • So I'm gonna stop here and have this be the end of part 1 but I will be making

  • more parts that cover the other

  • Verses in this song in the meantime keep listening to this song and keep practicing your english. I'll see you guys later

What's up guys this song is called don't worry you be happy it's by Bobby McFerrin and it's a super fun song
