ALL YA GOTTA DO IS SMILE


Popeye got his force from spinach---
Spinach gave him strength and might.
Superman was always dauntless,
But remember he had Kryptonite.
Don't need Kryptonite or spinach,
There's nothing I can't do---
My strength and my power
Depend entirely on you.

Even if I'm beat and dull and weary,
Underwater I could swim Lake Erie---
I could shoot across the Nile---
All ya gotta do is smile.

I could be a fearless gladiator
And wrestle any bear or alligator---
I could pin a crocodile---
All ya gotta do is smile.

While folks may think I'm placid,
I'm really quite a beast---
No crack cocaine or acid,
Not even Brewer's yeast.
For once your smile starts me throbbin',
I get all undone,
And I become Batman and Robin
Rolled into one.

I could rush right out in my pajama
And go and pole vault over Fujiama
And keep on whistling all the while---
All ya gotta do is smile.
