SMILE AWHILE
(SUNG BY PURPLE BURT)
MY BROTHER BURPS,
I'M INVISIBLE AND MY GIRLFRIEND'S AWAY
MY TURTLE'S SLOW,
I'M STILL COLORBLIND AND I EAT DIRT ALL DAY
EVEN THOUGH I AM SAD, I KNOW HOW TO BE GLAD
I TAKE MY FROWN AND TURN IT AROUND
WITH A BRAND NEW GAME THAT I PLAY
SMILE AWHILE, AND LAUGH TOO
SMILE AWHILE, YOU HAVE TO
THINK OF SOMETHING FUNNY THEN
TELL THE FUNNY THING TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
THEY WILL PASS THE FUNNY THING AROUND
SOON THE ONLY THING YOU'LL HEAR
IS A HAPPY SOUND
SMILE AWHILE
IT'S AN EASY THING TO DO!
YOU CAN'T BE SAD WITH A SILLY GRIN
AND A GLEAM IN YOUR EYES
SO JUMP AROUND, BE A CLOWN
AND YOU'LL ONLY SEE SUNNY SKIES
YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE FUN
WITH CHUCKLING BY THE TON
AS LONG AS YOU REMEMBER TO
KEEP YOUR MIND ON THE HAPPINESS PRIZE
SMILE AWHILE, AND GIGGLE
SMILE AWHILE, BE TICKLED
SMILE AWHILE, AND LAUGH TOO
SMILE AWHILE, YOU HAVE TO
THINK OF SOMETHING FUNNY THEN
TELL THE FUNNY THING TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
THEY WILL PASS THE FUNNY THING AROUND
SOON THE ONLY THING YOU'LL HEAR
IS A HAPPY SOUND
SMILE AWHILE
IT'S THE ONLY THING TO DO!
