Put On A Happy Face (from "Bye Bye Birdie")

Put On A Happy Face - Various Artists/Janet Leigh/Columbia Studio Orchestra/Johnny Green

Why look so awfully tragic

Put on a happy face

Smiling can work like magic

Put on a happy face

Take off that gloomy mask of tragedy

It's not your style

You'll look so good

That you'll be glad

You decided to smile

Pick out a pleasant outlook

Stick out that noble chin

Wipe off that full of doubt look

Slap on a happy grin

Hands spread sunshine all over the place just

Put on a happy face

Put on a happy face

Put on a happy face

Why do you mope around so sourly

It's such a strain

I always try to chuckle outwardly

It clears the brain

I knew a girl so gloomy

She'd never laugh or sing

She wouldn't listen to me

Now she's a mean old thing

So spread sunshine all over the place

Put on a happy

So put on a happy face
