Lyrics
Smile
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't stare at your face with your nose out of place
At the wrinkles where zits used to be
And remember that smiling uses less muscles
And frowning just makes you look ugly
So smile, smile
And the whole world will smile with you
So smile, Baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue
Don't mess with your man when he's selling you grams
He would kill you for less and then smile
And don't curse at a whore as you open the door
Cos' your service wont be with a smile
And the whole world smiles with you
And smile, Baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue
Don't sneer at your doctor or Gamble and proctor
Cos' they're just pawns in the game
The perfect prescription is one that you're given
It's filled out in Jesus' name
Don't be scared of your preacher cos' hes just a leech
He's too busy cruising your ass
There's a verse in the Bible
That says we're all liable
For everything that comes to pass
So smile, smile
And the whole world smiles with you
So smile, Baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue
So smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile
