My Friend Smiley

Someone with a name like Smiley
Should never be depressed
Even though this world we live in
Is so very full of stress.

So whenever the blues come 'round
Threatening to have their way
Just drive them off. It isn't hard.
Here's all you have to say;

"Go on now. Get! I don't want you.
This is not where you belong.
I'll chase you off. I know just how.
Here, you are all wrong."

Just tell those blues that their not wanted
And if they don't want to go
Then say a prayer and sing a song
And fill them full of woe.

They can't stand up to cheerfulness
Look deep within yourself
Find that Smiley-girl that I know so well
Pull your faith down off the shelf.

They'll turn tail and run; see if they don't.
Now you just wait and see.
And if you find that you still need support,
You can always call on me.
