Lyrics
Jammed in the street again, you're late by five or ten. You pass without a grin. A smile don't cost a thing. Here without a care, rock in a rockin' chair. Sit, i have a pair, it's easy. You've got bills to pay. it's a busy day. I see you turning grey, brother. It's a drag doin' life automatic. Time to shift the gears smilin'. Nothin' to do but jump in this groove. Swap your jeans for slacks. Lie on your income tax. But ain't you heard the facts, a smile don't cost a thing? Workin' late again, you take it on the chin to buy the perfect grin. Expensive. Yeah, it's really real, the pressures that you feel, to keep an even keel sister. It's a drag doin' life automatic. Time to shift the gears smilin'. Nothin' to do but jump in this groove.
