Pack Up

Love this song! Perfect for the summer, noticed a couple mistakes though I think:

In the first verse, it is "I was taught to dodge those issues, I was told..." - rather than touch.

And the chorus; "Pack up your troubles in your old, big bag And bury them beneath the sea" :]

I get tired And upset And i’m trying to care a little less When I google I only get depressed I wast taught to dodge those issues I was told Don’t worry There’s no doubt There’s always something to cry about When you’re stuck in an angry crowd They don’t think what they say before they open their mouths

[chorus] Pack up your troubles in you old kit bag And bury them beneath the sea I don’t care what the people may say What the people may say about me Pack up your troubles get your old grin back Don’t worry ’bout the cavalry I don’t care what the whisperers say Cos’ they whisper too loud for me.

Hot topic Maybe I should drop it It’s a touchy subject And I like to tiptoe round the tiff (though it's "shit" in her official video) goin’ down You got penny, but no pound Your business is running out ‘not my business to talk about They don’t think what they say before they open their mouths.

[chorus] Pack up your troubles in you old kit bag And bury them beneath the sea I don’t care what the people may say What the people may say about me Pack up your troubles get your old grin back Don’t worry ’bout the cavalry I don’t care what the whisperers say Cos’ they whisper too loud for me.

Yeahh yeah yeah Yeah yeah Yeah (dibadabadodooo)

Yeah, there the CORRECT lyrics, who wrote the ones on here?

I don´t care what the whisperers say, cause they whisper to loud for me......... For me that´s defenitely the best part of the lyrics. Maybe they should print it and make a poster for in high schools...? That would be fun.

I thought it was "Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag" from the old world war one song? You know, "Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile"?

i love this song :) it's so cheerful!

I think the meaning is pretty damn obvious here.

"I don't care what the people may say, what the people may say about me"

It's that whole critiques mess. What's interesting to me is that Eliza had someone else singing that chorus ("Pack up your drama in your old, big big, and bury them beneath the sea", as well as the second part), as if the guy was talking to her, saying she should care about what people say. After the guy sings his part, Eliza sings that first verse I put there.

I do find the theme extremely blent (and a LOT of new and even older artists use it in their songs), but the song, with its happy form, seems to be such a helper. Someone helped Eliza with this problem, and, in order get her attention, even told her: "don't worry 'bout the cavalry".

I like this song. Like others have said, its meaning is self-explanatory. Pack Up is about not caring what others think of you and to just let go, and be carefree. The video shows this carefree attitude too. I love the jazzy aspect to the song and Lloyd Wade's voice.

Why’s the guy singing “don’t you worry ’bout the calvary”? Presumably this song is directed at Jesus?
