A smile is something special
A ribbon is something rare
So I'll be special and I'll be rare
With a smile and ribbon in my hair

To be a girl they notice
Takes more than a fancy dress
So I'll be noticed because I'll dress
With a smile and a ribbon in my dresses

The bigger my toothy grin is
The smaller my troubles grow
The louder I say I'm happy
The more I believe it so

So I'll have that extra something
'Cause I'll 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

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
'Cause I'll know what to wear
Though 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
