It seems the current style to wear a toothy smile No matter how events may go to never let emotions show Being happy's fine but not all the time Sometimes I sigh or I cry or sing outside all day I don't care Some prefer to show their sickly grin Smiles go on and on How can they last so long? Anxieties must cross their path But all they seem to do is laugh Being happy's fine but not all the time Sometimes I sigh or I cry or sing outside all day I don't care Some prefer to show their sickly grin I'm not a po-faced boy as has been said before Variety's the spice of life Although false jollity seems most rife Being happy's fine but not all the time Sometimes I sigh or I cry or sing outside all day Whistling tunes Entering rooms full of people I don't know if I'm joyless or jealous or simply morose I don't care Some prefer to show their sickly grin
