Smiling is infectious, You catch it like the flu
When someone Smiled at me today, I started SMILING too
I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin
When he Smiled, I realized I'd passed it on to him.

A single Smile just like mine could travel 'round the earth.
So if you feel a Smile begin, don't leave it undetected.
