Smile And Show Your Dimple 1917

Little girlie you look sad,
I'm afraid you're feeling bad,
because he's leaving,
but stop your grieving;
little girl,
He don't want you to feel blue,
for it's not the thing to do
it will soon be over,
then he'll come marching back to you.

Smile and show your dimple
you'll find it's very simple,
you can think of something comical
in a very little while,
Chase away the wrinkle,
sprinkle just a twinkle
light your face up
just brace up,
and smile.

Smile and show your dimple
you'll find it's very simple,
you can think of something comical
in a very little while,
Chase away the wrinkle,
sprinkle just a twinkle
light your face up
just brace up,
and smile.

Little girlie don't you know,
that your pearly teeth will show
if you start smiling,
so keep on smiling
little girl,
You can cut your cares in half
if you only try to laugh;
look into my cam'ra
I'm goin' to take your photograph.

Smile and show your dimple
you'll find it's very simple,
you can think of something comical
in a very little while,
Chase away the wrinkle,
sprinkle just a twinkle
light your face up
just brace up,
and smile.

Smile and show your dimple
you'll find it's very simple,
you can think of something comical
in a very little while,
Chase away the wrinkle,
sprinkle just a twinkle
light your face up
just brace up,
and smile.
