You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile
[Cast] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've both got your style
But brother you're never fully dressed
Without a smile
Your clothes may be beau brummelly
They stand out a mile
But brother you're never fully dressed
Who cares what they're wearing
On main street or Seville row
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe that matters
Hey, hobo man, hey, Dapper Dan
You've both got your style
But brother you're never fully dressed
Without a smile
Your clothes may be beau brummelly
They stand out a mile
But brother you're never fully dressed
Without a smile
Who cares what they're wearing
On main street or Seville row
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe that matters
The lovely Boylan sisters
So, Senator, so, Janitor
So long for a while
Remember you're never fully dressed
Without a smile
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile
Who cares what they're wearing
On main street or Seville row
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe that matters
So, Senator, so, Janitor
So long for a while
Remember you're never fully dressed
Though you may wear the best
You're never fully dressed without a
Smile, you're never fully dressed
You're never fully dressed
You're never fully dressed
You're never fully dressed without a
The song "You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile" from the musical "Annie" is a lighthearted tune that encourages people to focus on the importance of wearing a smile in life, rather than just physical clothing. The lyrics address different types of people, from a hobo man to a senator to a janitor, and acknowledge that everyone has their own style, but that style isn't complete without a smile. The lyrics emphasize that what really matters is the positivity and happiness that radiates from one's smile, rather than the clothing they wear or the material possessions they have.
The song's message is simple but powerful, and it is easy to relate to. Clothing and material possessions can be important for self-expression and confidence, but they are not what truly make a person complete. A genuine smile can show warmth, kindness, and happiness, and those qualities are what people are most likely to remember and appreciate. The upbeat melody of the song adds to the positive message and brings a sense of joy and optimism to the listener.

Hey, hobo man, hey, Dapper Dan
Hello, homeless person and well-dressed gentleman
You've both got your style
You both have a unique way of presenting yourselves
But brother you're never fully dressed
But the truth is, you're not completely dressed up
Without a smile
Unless you have a cheerful expression on your face
Your clothes may be beau brummelly
You might have very fashionable clothing
They stand out a mile
It is easily noticeable from far away
Who cares what they're wearing
Why does it matter what others wear
On main street or Seville row
Whether it's the busiest street or a designer brand street
It's what you wear from ear to ear
It's about the expression on your face
And not from head to toe that matters
And not about your clothes or looks
The lovely Boylan sisters
The beautiful performers, Boylan sisters
So, Senator, so, Janitor
This applies to everyone, including the high-profile and the low-profile individuals
So long for a while
Goodbye for now
Remember you're never fully dressed
Remember, you're not complete without
Without a smile
Your happy countenance
Though you may wear the best
Even if you are dressed in the finest clothes
You're never fully dressed without a
You're still not fully dressed without
Smile, you're never fully dressed
With a joyful face, only then are you completely dressed
You're never fully dressed
No matter how good you look on the outside
You're never fully dressed
You're always missing something
You're never fully dressed without a smile
That something is a genuine and joyful smile

Hey, America
Let's turn it up
Yeah, check out our style
'Cause you know you're never fully dressed without a smile
Your clothes may be Chanel, Gucci
Your shoes crocodile
But, baby, you're never fully dressed without a smile
And if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for it all
You got all we need, got love and more
You're never fully dressed without a smile
And if you stand for something, you can have it all
'Cause if it's real, you'll open every door
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile
Ready or not
Give all we've got
Hey, you can't deny
That, baby, you're never fully dressed without a smile
Don't sink the boat
When you lose hope
I'll keep you alive
But, baby, you're never fully dressed without a smile
And if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for it all
You got all we need, got love and more
You're never fully dressed without a smile
And if you stand for something, you can have it all
'Cause if it's real, you'll open every door
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile
Now look at us
We pick it up
We set it on fire
'Cause you know you're never fully dressed without a smile
We show it out
We're playing now
We're living the life
But, baby, you're never fully dressed without a smile
And if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for it all
You got all we need, got love and more
You're never fully dressed without a smile
And if you stand for something, you can have it all
'Cause if it's real, you'll open every door
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile
