Put on a Happy Face

Grey skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face
Brush off the clouds and cheer up, put on a happy face
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy, it's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad you decided to smile

Pick out a pleasant outlook, stick out that noble chin
Wipe off that full of doubt look, slap on a happy grin
And spread sunshine all over the place, put on a happy face

When you're feeling mean and grouchy
There is no money in your cake
When your disposition's ouchy
And you think you're sick, sick, sick
When your wife has packed and left you
'Cause you came home kind of late

Or your chick lays down the story
She's got another date
When your dog just growls and bites you
While you are patting him on the head
Or your best friend starts an argument:
"Why is it not like this?" Drop dead

When your car breaks down while you're uptown
Don't take a bus
Don't fuss, don't cuss
You've got to adjust
Hey, don't you frown, put on a happy face

Put on a happy face
When you're feeling crossed and bickerish and start to whine
Think of banana splits and licorice, hmm you'll feel fine

I knew a guy so gloomy, he'd never laugh or sing
He wouldn't listen to me, now he's a mean old thing
So spread sunshine all over the place, put on a happy face

He raised that frown inside a place that brown
Just laugh it up and you'll feel fine
Tell old man Gloom he's out of line
Put on a happy face
