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
And smile
Baby, 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 ***
As you open the door
'Cause your service
Won't be with a smile
So smile
Smile
And the whole world
Smiles with you
And smile
Baby, smile
If the whole world
Just had a clue
Don't sneer at your doctor
Or Gamble and Proctor
'Cause they're just
Pawns 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
'Cause he's just a leech
He's too busy
Cruising your ***
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
And smile
Baby, smile
If the whole world
Just had a clue
So smile
Smile
Smile
Smile
Smile
Smile
