“With your smile, turn the world upside down”

Sit down, I’m gonna tell ya

A little story ‘bout a sad little fella

He was a Dapper-Dan Cinderella

Oh, and lemme tell ya

It made the other fellas jealous

They made him cry

“Na na na”

Spit in his eye

“Ha ha ha”

How could they pick on such a friendly little guy?

This town was kinda broken

Not the kind of place you’d leave your doors open

Full of backwards, back-woods broke-men

Still he was copin’

Yeah he was dreamin’ hopin’

He’d get away

“Na na na”

Maybe someday

“Ha ha ha”

But on the radio his momma used to play.

“When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown

Put a smile on and spread it around.”

With your smile, turn the world upside down.

CHORUS:

Da da, da da da da

Da da da da da dada

Da da, da da da da

Dadadadadada

Da da, da da da da

Da da da da da dada

Da da da da da dada

Dadadadadada

Well now he had the spirit

And he would smile every time he’d hear it

Soon he knew every single lyric

Oh, and he would sing it

And in his sleep he’d dream it

All day and night

“Na na na”

Through every fight

“La La La”

You wouldn’t judge him if you knew what it was like

And how, as luck would have it

He got rewarded for his weird new habit

He earned a fat green stack of cabbage

And he planned to stash it

Till he was livin’ lavish

That fateful day

“Na na na”

He ran away

“La La La”

And he could hear the song his momma used to play

“When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown

Put a smile on and spread it around…”

With his smile, he’d turn the world upside down!

Chorus:

Da da, da da da da

Da da da da da dada

Da da, da da da da

Dadadadadada

Da da, da da da da

Da da da da da dada

Da da da da da dada

Dadadadadada

When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown

Put a smile on and spread it around.

With my smile, I turned the world upside down.
