Lyrics
Just Smile
Goodby world
I'm off to join the carnival.
I'm off to take my place
At the head of the line.
It's my turn to thank
The members of the acadamy
Who said I'd never 'mount to nuthin'
Then I made 'em cry
I made 'em cry just a little bit
every now and then
Cry just a little bit
How else could they know
They gotta laugh at troubles
That are gonna come what may
They gotta laugh at the devil
till the devil goes away
A smile, a tear
are so very close in nature
a narrow space that must be crossed
to make it all worth the trip
So cry with me,
till it's time to laugh
Cry for me just a little
Then smile
