Lyrics
- Any one can smile when life’s a song
But who can smile when trouble comes along?
You’ll find the one that’s worth while
Is the one who can smile
When ev’ry thing is going wrong
Ev’ryone has troubles of their own
So keep your troubles to yourself alone
Chorus
Go on and smile all the while
And you’ll soon forget your sorrow
Smile all the while
Never mind about tomorrow
You should worry
Smile tho’ you’re broke
And you even have to borrow
Tears for years and years have gone out of style
So smile all the while, just smile
- Things that happen, happen for the best
So we all should be brave and stand the test
You’ll find if you learn to grin
It will help you to win
So never mind about the rest
Any time that anything goes wrong
Just wait, for good luck soon will come along
