"I Whistle a Happy Tune" is the first song of the 1999 animated film, The King and I. It was sung by Anna and Louis Leonowens with the ship's crew.
Background[]
During the storm that was created along with the Serpent by the Kralahome's telekinetic powers of illusion after Master Little hits the gong, this song is expressed when Anna overcomes her fears while whistling and singing the musical song along with Louis, Moonshee and the ship's crew and the storm is now clear and calm.
Lyrics[]
Anna: Whenever I feel afraid I hold my head erect And whistle a happy tune So no one will suspect I'm afraid. While shivering in my shoes I strike a careless pose And whistle a happy tune And no one ever knows I'm afraid. The result of this deception Is very strange to tell For when I fool the people I fear I fool myself as well! I whistle a happy tune And every single time The happiness in the tune Convinces me that I'm not afraid. Make believe you're brave And the trick will take you far. You may be as brave As you make believe you are (Anna and Louis whistling.) Anna: You may be as brave As you make believe you are Louis: I whistle a happy tune And every single time The happiness in the tune Convinces me that I'm not afraid. All:(Anna, Louis and the Ship's Crew) Make believe you're brave And the trick will take you far. You may be as brave As you make believe you are. (Anna, Louis and the Ship's Crew whistling.) You may be as brave As you make believe you are.
