Hello it's ni- (With your smile, turn the world upside down) Sit down, I'm gonna tell ya A little story 'bout a sad little fella He was a Dapper-Dan Cinderella Oh, and lemme tell ya, it made the other fellas jealous They made him cry (ha-na-na) Spit in his eye (ha-ha-ha) How could they pick on such a friendly little guy? This town was kinda broken Not the kind of place you'd leave your doors open Full of backwards, back-woods broke-men Still he was copin', yeah, he was dreamin', hopin' He'd get away (na-na-na) Maybe someday (ha-ha-ha) But on the radio, his momma used to play "When it feels like all the world is wearin' a frown Put a smile on and spread it around" With your smile, turn the world upside down Da-da, da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da Well, now he had the spirit And he would smile every time he'd hear it Soon he knew every single lyric Oh, and he would sing it And in his sleep, he'd dream it All day and night (na-na-na) Through every fight (la-la-la) You wouldn't judge him if you knew what it was like And how, as luck would have it He got rewarded for his weird new habit He earned a fat green stack of cabbage And he planned to stash it 'til he was livin' lavish That fateful day (na-na-na) He ran away (la-la-la) And he could hear the song his momma used to play "When it feels like all the world is wearin' a frown Put a smile on and spread it around" With his smile, he'd turn the world upside down! Da-da, da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da (alright) Da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da When it feels like all the world is wearin' a frown Put a smile on, and spread it around With my smile, I turned the world upside down
