the smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men,
will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the sun again.
it`s full of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent;
it`s worth a million dollars, and it doesn`t cost a cent.
there is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile;
it always has the same good look; it`s never out of style;
it nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue;
the dimples of encouragement are good for me and you.
it pays the highest interest — for it is merely lent;
it`s worth a million dollars, and it doesn`t cost a cent.
a smile comes very easy — you can wrinkle up with cheer,
a hundred times before you can squeeze out a salty tear;
it ripples out, moreover, to the heartstrings that will tug,
and always leaves an echo that is very like a hug.
so, smile away! folks understand what by a smile is meant;
it`s worth a million dollars, and it doesn`t cost a cent.
