When you're smilin', keep on smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
And when you're laughin', keep on laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through

But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
So stop your frownin'; be happy again
'Cause when you're smilin', keep on smilin'
The whole world smiles with you

Oh, when you're smilin', keep on smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
Ah when you're laughin', keep on laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through

Now when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
So stop that sighin'; be happy again
'Cause when you're smilin', just keep on smilin'
And the whole world gonna smile with




The great big world will smile with
The whole wide world will smile with you
