smile, girls, smile
sparkle effervescence
"i haven't seen you all year"
like you tried to--
like you cared--
now faced with me
ooze charm
try not to stare
smile, girls, smile
never let them see the truth
it's unladylike
hide behind your eyes, but keep them
open wide
sparkle
these shining stones may drag you down
when will you realize, my dear,
that daddy isn't god's messenger, and
and maybe god doesn't really care
shun, shun, inside your mind
shine, shine, girls, shine
don't ever falter
shake the hand, bury the dead,
take what you're given
brush the hair, paint the face
always look pretty
smile girls, smile
