Verse:
Let's all get together with this one thought in mind,
Make this world a better, brighter place.
Tell each "Blue Nose" and "Joy Killer" you ever find,
"Hey there! Wipe that frown right off your face."
 
Chorus:
Smile, Darn Ya', Smile,
You know this old world is a great world after all.
Smile, Darn Ya', Smile,
And right away watch "Lady Luck" pay you a call.
Things are never black as they are painted,
Time for you and joy to get acquainted.
Make life worth while, Come on and,
Smile, Darn Ya', Smile.
