Powder your face with sunshine
Put on a great big smile
Make up your eyes with laughter
Folks will be laughing with you in a little while

Whistle a tune of gladness
Gloom never was in style
The future's brighter
When hearts are lighter
Smile, smile, smile!

DORIS: Powder your face with sunshine

DORIS: Put on a great big smile
BUDDY: (Spoken) You mean like this?
DORIS: Yeaahh......Make up your eyes with laughter
Folks will be laughing with you in a little while

Whistle a tune of gladness
Gloom never was in style
The future's brighter
When hearts are lighter
Smile, smile, smile

BUDDY:
Powder your face with sunshine
Put on a great big smile
Make up your eyes with laughter
Folks will be laughing with you in a little while

Just whistle a tune of gladness
Gloom never was in style
The future's brighter
When hearts are lighter
Smile, smile, smile
