a smile and a ribbon

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 dresses

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
