Smile Smile For a While

My name is Mr. Happy. Spelled H-A-P-P-Y. Also known as Pappy. Spelled P-A-P-P-Y. I am the Mr. Happy Pappy guy. And, I hate to see kids cry... I hate to see kids cry. So... Smile, Smile for a while In a happy smiley face style. Can your smiles be in a pile? Smile, Smile for a while. Wear it proudly for a trial. Can you wear it for a half mile? Smile, Smile for a while. Put a laugh in the smile pile. Can it last for a whole mile? Smile. Smile for a while. Make it your own style. Can a laugh and a smile Walk down the aisle? Smile, Smile for a while. Put a giggle in the pile. Can they go single file For half past a mile? Smile. Smile for a while. Smiles, laughter, giggles in a pile. Together they go more than a mile. Remember me... Mr. Happy Pappy When I'm not around. The place where you imagine Is the place where I am found.
