Lyrics
Put on your long trousers and comb your hair
The ladies wanna hear you sing
Five o'clock in the living room, we'll be having tea
And you'd better dance when I pull those strings
And you can't let me down now
You can't hide away
And we don't need your special needs today
Why can't you just smile
C'mon now, smile
You're not the only one in pain
You came here to enjoy yourself
And by God you will
Why you gotta always bring everybody down
It's something, by now, you should've outgrown
The party's really getting started, but the louder they laugh
The more you wanna be alone
With you it's always something
You always get your way
But I can't take your bleeding heart today
Why can't you just smile
Don't make mummy mad
C'mon, smile
Don't make me tell your dad
You came here to enjoy yourself
And by God you will
Why can't you just smile
Don't make mummy mad
C'mon, smile
Don't make me tell your dad
You're old enough to know better
So you'd better, you'd better smile
