Keep on smiling
Keep on smiling
The very best is there for you
Just go right out and take a few
I know a little Shanty town
Where the people gather round
Singing dancing all the way
Like happy children out to play
Just watch the people how they dance
You'd think that they are in a trance
Melodies from their guitars
Leave you just gazing at the stars
Keep on smiling
Keep on smiling
Keep on smiling
The very best is there for you
Just go right out and take a few
Keep on smiling
Keep on smiling
Keep on smiling
The very best is there for you
Just go right out and take a few
I know a little Shanty town
Where the people gather round
Singing dancing all the way
Like happy children out to play
Just watch the people how they dance
You'd think that they are in a trance
Melodies from their guitars
Leave you just gazing at the stars
Keep on smiling
Keep on smiling
Keep on smiling
The very best is there for you
Just go right out and take a few
Keep on smiling
Keep on smiling
Keep on smiling
The very best is there for you
Just go right out and take a few
