The Smiley Face Song!

©1998 Charlie Ball

Chorus
Give a little giggle, grin a little grin
Do your imitation of a Smiley Face pin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in
Then share it with your neighbors and your next of kin

1) Once there were some people who were feeling kind of blue
So they called up Harvey Ball, he knew exactly what to do
He drew a Smiley Face, he made it yellow too
It was sunny, it was simple and he said "I'm through"

2) Well the people got excited when they saw what he had done
So they made up Smiley buttons and they handed out a ton
Which went around the world like the world goes round the sun
for a smile begets another so there's never just one

3) Well that's a little story of how Smiley came to be
Back in December of 1963
Call the Guinness Book of Records tell them "Quick come see"
The happiest face in all of history

4) Oh, the moral of this story is to help the world to smile
You do an act of kindness, you go the extra mile
And what you do comes back to you in just a little while
For goodness is contagious and it's never out of style
