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 Na, 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 wearing 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 dada 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 Till 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 wearing 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 dada When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown Put a smile on and spread it around With my smile, I turned the world upside down
