A smile is something special A ribbon is something rare So I'll be special and I'll be rare With a smile and a ribbon in my hair
To be a girl they notice Takes more than a fancy dress So I'll be noticed because I'll dress With a smile and a ribbon in my tresses
The bigger my toothy grin is The smaller my troubles grow The louder I say I'm happy The more I believe it's so
So I'll have that extra something Because I know what to wear So I'll be special and I'll be rare I'll be something beyond compare I'll be noticed because I'll wear A smile and a ribbon in my hair
