Lyrics:

A smile is something special
A 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 tresses

The bigger my toothy grin is
The smaller my troubles grow
The louder I say, 'I'm happy'
The more I believe it's so

So I'll have that extra something
'Cause I'll know what to wear
So I'll be special and I'll be rare
I'll be something beyond compare
I'll be noticed because I'll wear
A smile and a ribbon in my hair

The bigger my toothy grin is
The smaller my troubles grow
The louder I say, 'I'm happy'
The more I believe it's so

So I'll have that extra something
'Cause I'll know what to wear
So I'll be special and I'll be rare
I'll be something beyond compare
I'll be noticed because I'll wear
A smile and a ribbon in my hair
