smile is something special
ribbon is something rare
So I'll be special and I'll be rare 
With a smile and a ribbon in my hair
 
To be a girl they notice
Takes more than a fancy dress
So I'll be noticed because I'll dress 
With a smile and a ribbon in my dresses

The bigger my toothy grin is
The smaller my troubles grow
The louder I say Im happy
The more I believe it's so
So I'll have that extra something 
Because I know what to wear

So I'll be special and I'll be rare
I'll be something [bad word] I'll be noticed because I'll wear 
smile and a ribbon in my hair
