Keep On Smiling

Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street

Glen Campbell: There's times when I'm up

And times when I'm down

There's times when I'm loose

And times when I'm bound

It don't bother me

'Cause I let it be

And just-a keep on smilin'



There's time's when I'm high

And times when I'm low

There's times when I'm fast

And times when I'm slow

It don't bother me

'Cause I let it be

And just-a keep on smilin'



I found the world is a better place

With a smile on my face

There ain't no use in my goin' around

With my chin way down on the ground



There's times when I will

And times when I won't

There's times when I do

And times when I don't

It don't bother me

'Cause I let it be

And just-a keep on smilin'



Oscar The Grouch: There's times when I'm up

And times when I'm down

Times when I'm loose

And times when I'm bound!

It don't bother me



'Cause I let it be

And just keep on frowning, heh heh heh



Glen Campbell: I found the world is a better place

With a smile on my face



Oscar: Oh yeah?

Just look for me and you know I'll be found

With my smile replaced by a frown



Glen Campbell: There's times when I give

And times when I take



Oscar: Times when I bend

And times when I break



Glen Campbell: But all the way through

I do what I do

It don't cost a dime

And it don't take much time

Well you might disagree

But we'll let it be

And just-a keep on smilin'



Oscar: You might disagree

But we'll let it be

And just keep on frowning, heh heh heh



Both: You might disagree

But we'll let it be



Glen Campbell: And just-a keep on smilin'



Oscar: Frown!
