UP

With your smile, turn the world upside down

Sit down, I'm gonna tell ya
A little story 'bout a sad little fella
He was a Dapper-Dan Cinderella
Oh, and lemme tell ya
It made the other fellas jealous

They made him cry
Na, na, na
Spit in his eye
Ha, ha, ha
How could they pick on such a friendly little guy?

This town was kinda broken
Not the kind of place you'd leave your doors open
Full of backwards, back-woods broke-men
Still he was copin'
Yeah he was dreamin' hopin'

He'd get away
Na, na, na
Maybe someday
Ha, ha, ha
But on the radio his momma used to play

When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown
Put a smile on and spread it around
With your smile, turn the world upside down

Da da, da da da da
Da da da da da dada

Well now he had the spirit
And he would smile every time he'd hear it
Soon he knew every single lyric
Oh, and he would sing it
And in his sleep he'd dream it

All day and night
Na, na, na
Through every fight
La, la, la
You wouldn't judge him if you knew what it was like

And how, as luck would have it
He got rewarded for his weird new habit
He earned a fat green stack of cabbage
And he planned to stash it
Till he was livin' lavish

That fateful day
Na, na, na
He ran away
La, la, la
And he could hear the song his momma used to play

When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown
Put a smile on and spread it around
With his smile, he'd turn the world upside down!

Da da, da da da da
Da da da da da dada

When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown
Put a smile on and spread it around
With my smile, I turned the world upside down
