Lyrics
Chorus: Give me an S (S), M (M!), S - M - I - L - E!
A big, fat juicy one that stretches out your cheeks.
Give me an S (S), M (M!), S - M - I - L - E!
This world will be more cheerful if we give out more of these!
There was a girl named Greta; she came from Grumpy Town.
She griped about most everything; she pouted and she frowned.
Then one day she realized her attitude was dumb.
She stuck a smile on her face, and started having fun. CHORUS
There was a boy named Bradley; he grew up kind of poor.
The hurricane destroyed his house when he was only four.
Brad was sad but helped his mom by giving her his smile.
Mom smiled back and got on track; they made it through the trial. CHORUS
So if your smiling muscles have been tired and out of whack
Think of Brad and Greta and just give your grin a crack.
There?s so much to be glad about; God?s given us a lot!
So stick a smile on your face! And give it all you?ve got! CHORUS
