Ou vriend jy weet hoe jaag ons deur die lewe
Jy weet hoe jaag ons almal na sukses
Ons almal soek die lekker in die lewe
Maar dink ons ooit 'n oomblik aan die res

Glimlag vir almal in jou lewe
Kom strooi 'n bietjie liefde en geluk
Glimlag wees vrolik in jou lewe

Wat jy vir ander doen bring blydskap en geluk

Elkeen loop sy paadjie deur die lewe
Jy weet tog ons probeer almal ons bes
Ieder wil sy merk maak in sy lewe
Maar dink ons ooit 'n oomblik aan die res

Glimlag vir almal in jou lewe
Kom strooi 'n bietjie liefde en geluk
Glimlag wees vrolik in jou lewe
Wat jy vir ander doen bring blydskap en geluk

Ou vriend weet jy hoe vinning vloei die lewe
Jy weet hoe dikwels kan ons ander kwes
Ons moet 'n oomblik stilstaan in die lewe
'n Oomblik om te dink aan al die res

Glimlag vir almal in jou lewe
Kom strooi 'n bietjie liefde en geluk
Glimlag wees vrolik in jou lewe
Wat jy vir ander doen bring blydskap en geluk

Glimlag vir almal in jou lewe
Kom strooi 'n bietjie liefde en geluk

Glimlag wees vrolik in jou lewe
Wat jy vir ander doen bring blydskap en geluk
