Smile and Show Your Dimple
Words and Music by Irving Berlin
Published 1917 by Waterson, Berlin & Snyder
[Verse 1]
Lit-tle girl-ie you look sad,
I'm a-fraid you're feel-ing bad;
Be-cause he's leav-ing,
But stop your griev-ing: (lit-tle girl,)
He don't want you to feel blue,
For it's not the thing to do;
It will soon be ov-er;
Then he'll come march-ing back to you.
[Chorus]
Smile and show your dimp-le,
You'll find it's ver-y sim-ple;
You can think of some-thing com-i-cal,
In a ver-y lit-tle while.
Chase a-way the wrink-le,
Sprink-le just a twink-le,
Light your face up,
Just brace up, and smile.
[Verse 2]
Lit-tle girl-ie don't you know,
That your pearl-y teeth will show;
If you start smil-ing,
So keep on smil-ing; (lit-tle girl)
You can cut your cares in half,
If you on-ly try to laugh;
Look in-to my cam-'ra;
I'm goin' to take your phot-o-graph.
[Repeat Chorus]
