What'cha gonna do when the red, red, robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along?

Why, Live Love, Laugh and Be Happy,  of  course!

The Red, Red Robin was composed in 1926 by Harry Woods, who also wrote "I'm Looking Over a 4-Leaf Clover", and "Try a Little Tenderness" made famous by Frank Sinatra and Otis Redding.  

"Robin" is best known through recordings by Al Jolson, Bing Crosby and Doris Day. As a tune, it may be a trifle, but it's a sweet one worthy of being trotted out every spring when the red, red Robin comes bob bob ... ah, you know the rest.
