Put on a Happy Face
Charles Strouse, Lee Adams
Why look so awfully tragic
Put on a happy face
Smiling can work like magic
Put on a happy face
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You look so good that you'll be glad
You've 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
Just put on a happy face
Put on a happy face
Put on a happy face
Why do you mope around so sourly?
It's such a string
I always try to chuckle hourly
It clears the brain
I knew a girl so gloomy
She never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing
So spread sunshine all over the place
Put on a happy
So put on a happy face
