Lyrics
BIG OLD SMILE
Happiness ain't a goal, a state of being or so I'm told
If you're never feeling sad, how would you know when you're glad?
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down, that's just how life goes 'round
If you're feeling sad and blue, you may not know what to do
Every morning, got to get up
Everyday, gotta lift your head up
When you're about fed up
Put a big ol' smile on your face
Put a big ol' smile on your face
Think of something makes you smile, hold that thought a little while
When you see a passerby, give a smile perhaps say "Hi"
Flash a smile, it's a gift, it might just give someone a lift
When you're feeling sad and blue, you may not know what to do
Every morning, got to get up
Everyday, gotta lift your head up
When you're about fed up
Put a big ol' smile on your face
Put a big ol' smile on your face
When things aren't going right
Time to flash those pearly whites
Here's the way to begin
Start with a bog ol' toothy grin
Not the kind that seems sarcastic
A smile that's enthusiastic
(solos)
Every morning, got to get up
Everyday, gotta lift your head up
When you're about fed up
Put a big ol' smile on your face
Put a big ol' smile on your face
Happiness ain't a goal, a state of being or so I'm told
If you're never feeling sad, how would you know when you're glad?
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down, that's just how life goes 'round
If you're feeling sad and blue, you may not know what to do
Every morning, got to get up
Everyday, gotta lift your head up
Put a big ol' smile on your face
Put a big ol' smile on your face
Put a big ol' smile on your face
