When you're smiling
The whole world
Smiles with you, ba, be, ba, bo
Oh, when you're laughing
Babe, when you're laughing
The sun comes shining through
But when you're crying
You bring on the rain
So stop your sighing
Be happy again
And keep on smiling
Keep on smiling
And the whole world smiles with you
