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
