A smile is something special   A ribbon is something rare   So I'll be special and I'll be rare   With a smile and a ribbon in my hair      To be a girl they notice   Takes more than a fancy dress   So I'll be noticed because I'll dress   With a smile and a ribbon in my tresses      The bigger my toothy grin is   The smaller my troubles grow   The louder I say I'm happy   The more I believe it's so      So I'll have that extra something   Because I know what to wear   So I'll be special and I'll be rare   I'll be something beyond compare   I'll be noticed because I'll wear   A smile and a ribbon in my hair
