Smile

Jane Birkin


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 smiles with you 
They'd smile 
They'd 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 won't be with a smile 
So smile 
Smile 
And the whole world smiles with you 
They'd smile 
They'd smile 
If the whole world just had a clue 
Don't sneer at your doctor 
Or gamble and proctor 
'Cos they're just dawns in the game 
The perfect prescription 
Is one that you're given 
That's filled out in Jesus' name 
Don't be scared of your preacher 
'Cos he's just a leach 
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 
They'd smile 
They'd smile 
If the whole world just had a clue 
So smile 
Smile 
Smile 
smile 
smile 
smile
