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