Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Let’s all get together
With this one thought in mind
Make this world a better, brighter place
Tell each “Blue Nose”
And “Gloom Chaser” you ever find
“Hey there!
Wipe that frown right off your face”
Refrain
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
- What’s the use of walking
In the shadows each day
There’s no sense in looking for the rain
Here’s the surest way
To drive the shadows away
Follow this advice, it’s mighty plain
Refrain
Smile, darn ya, smile
For there is nothing
That you cannot overcome
Smile, darn ya, smile
And where the clouds appear
You soon will find the sun
Life is really only what you make it
Stand right up and show them you can take it
Make life worth while
Come on and smile, darn ya, smile
