Gracie Fields' "Cheer Up" Song.
Gracie Fields has found a song which may be a new "Tipperary." It is "Wish Me Luck," and she calls it her national "Cheer Up" song.
This is the chorus: Wish me luck as you wave, me
goodbye, Chiceria, here po, on my way. Wish me luck, as you wave me
goodbye,
With a cheer, not a tear, make
it gay.

goodbye.
"I do hope the 'boys' will like it," she says. "When I'm a little better. I want to sing it to them myself.”
It was composed by Harry Parr-Davis and Phil Park.
