Smile, Always Smile

Smile, my friend, smile.

Show all your rows of teeth.

Show them your happiness

And hide your distress.

Smile, my friend, smile.

Show them all your rows of teeth.

Let them imagine how good they are

From the bites that you have made.

Smile, my friend, smile.

Show them all your rows of teeth.

Let them see how sharp they are

How quickly they can be used.

Smile, my friend, smile.

Show them all your rows of teeth.

Let them see how dangerous you are

And scurry out of your way.
