Smile

Just smile, just a smile
 Just smile, just a smile
 Just smile
 Just because the morning's sunny
 To say hello, to say good-bye
 Maybe something strikes you funny
 Or you don't know exactly why
 Ain't no reason to try and hide it
 A whole lot easier to let it out
 First it's playin' with your eyes
 Then it's makin' mischief around your mouth
 Just smile, just a smile
 Just smile, just a smile
 Just smile
 Lookin' at a sea of smilin' faces
 Knowin' we're the same inside
 Feelin' good to be together
 Feelin' glad to share the ride
 See the rainbow, see the baby
 Get in the picture with the groom and bride
 Holler 'cheese' and face the polaroid
 Show the love you feel inside
 Do you work at a job you despise? do you live with cockroaches? have you been mugged lately? did your favorite jeans shrink in the wash? everyone has problems. it doesn't mean you have to be a sourpuss. after all, the expression you wear on your face is far more important than the clothes you wear on your back. instead of letting the inside influence the outside, make the outside influence the inside. act the way you want to feel. if you want to be happy, start now.
 Just smile, just a smile
 A smile makes someone who's mad not mad
 A smile makes someone who's sad not sad
 A smile makes good people outta the bad
 A smile is an asset you always had
 It can bring you back from the end of the world
 Pick you up when you feel down
 Put you in touch with your fellow man
 Take an ugly situation and turn it around
 Just smile, just a smile
 And now testimonial from former bag lady, wilma fox:
 I was in the gutter on the wrong side of town
 I'd sunk as low as a woman can go
 Eating outta garbage cans and sleeping on the ground
 And prayin' for a miracle to turn my life around
 One day last summer i was down to nuthin'
 The air was gritty, the subway was an oven
 Classic new york city, everybody shovin'
 The crowd was uncouth, gettin' mad, gettin' strange
 'cept the man in the booth, the man makin' change
 He looked me in the eye as he handed me a token
 He flashed me a smile and a spell was broken
 Just a smile, just smile, just a smile, just smile
 I bust thru that turnstile, i ran to my train
 People still looked hostile but somethin' had changed
 My express pulled in, the doors swung wide
 And i started to grin as i stepped inside
 I smiled as the train pulled outta that station
 Sorta tickled by the humor of my own situation
 Just a smile, just smile, just a smile, just smile
 And my attitude spread to all fellow riders
 They looked at each other and threw off those blinders
 Eyes that were dead suddenly shone
 One by one, they were touched, touched to the bone
 As they exited that car, great smiles burst forth
 Like the evenin' star, like breezes from the north
 Then one by one, they all departed
 And i saw what the man in the change booth had started
 Just smile, just a smile
 A smile is a very infectious thing. it spreads joy. it's a sign of caring. success or failure is caused by your mental attitude, not your mental capacity. yes, a smile can pick you up outta the gutter, make you prosperous. now i take taxis. you just have to smile once and the whole world will smile with you. and remember that old chinese proverb: man without smiling face must not open shot. paste that in your hat, honey. smile.
