Smiles
Dearie, now I know
Dearie, now I see
There are smiles that make us happy, There are smiles that make us blue, There are smiles that steal away the teardrops As the sunbeams steal away the dew.
There are smiles that have a tender meaning
Dearie, when you smile
Cheery melodies

Subject: Lyr Add: LET A SMILE BE YOUR UMBRELLA From: Jim Dixon Date: 24 Mar 24 - 05:53 PM This was mentioned by Musicman on 21 Nov 98 - 03:39 AM. From the sheet music at Mississippi State University: LET A SMILE BE YOUR UMBRELLA (ON A RAINY DAY) Words by Irving Kahal and Francis Wheeler; music by Sammy Fain, ©1927. 1. Once I met a happy little bluebird. I was just as blue as could be. In a little while, I began to smile, When he sang this merry song to me: CHORUS: “Just let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day; And if your sweetie cries, just tell her that a smile will always pay. Whenever skies are gray, don’t worry or fret. A smile will bring the sunshine and you’ll never get wet. So let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day.” 2. As I listened to that happy bluebird, I soon learned his smart philosophy. On my window sill, He began to trill. This is what he had to say to me: CHORUS - - - There are tons of recordings on the Internet Archive. Many of them are instrumentals, or they sing only the chorus. These are the ones that sing at least one verse: Singer and Morton, on Oriole (1137 (a)), 1927. They sing the chorus, verse 1, chorus, bridge, chorus. This bridge does not appear in the sheet music: Remember that a cheerful smile is always bound to win, So never pull the shades down when the sun wants to come in. A smile is just a slicker and it’s always still the line(?), And if you wear it, you are sure to find That ev’ry raindrop soon becomes a little pearl of joy, And you’ll keep going along just like a whistling barefoot boy, So pack up all your troubles in a great big pile (or “pipe”?) of bubbles, And blow, blow, blow them all away Dolly Kay and the University Six, on Diva (2581-G), 1928. She sings the first verse, chorus, bridge, plus this alternate chorus which is not in the sheet music: Just let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy, ray-ray-rainy day. Just pucker up your lips and whistle and your blues will pass away. For never let your friends see you wear a frown, ’Cause one by one they’ll walk away and all turn you down, So let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day. Jay C. Flippen and His Gang on Perfect (12406), 1928. He sings the first verse and chorus, plus the following alternate chorus: Just let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day. Just pucker up your lips and yell a great big “Hip-hip-hip-hooray!” Grab all your cares and pull them out by the roots. Just wear a smile and throw away those old rubber boots And let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day. Lee Morse and Her Blue Grass Boys, on Columbia (1303-D), 1928. She sings the first verse, chorus, second verse, second chorus, alternate chorus, as above.) |

Subject: Lyr Add: SMILE DARN YA SMILE From: Jim Dixon Date: 25 Mar 24 - 03:40 PM This song was featured in a 1931 Merrie Melodies cartoon which you can see on YouTube. Lyrics from the sheet music at Baylor University: SMILE, DARN YA, SMILE Words by Charles O’Flynn & Jack Meskill; music by Max Rich. Published by De Silva, Brown, and Henderson, Inc., 1931. 1. Let’s all get together with this one thought in mind: Make this world a better, brighter place. Tell each “Blue Nose” and “Joy Killer” you ever find: “Hey there! Wipe that frown right off your face!” CHORUS 1: Smile, darn ya, smile! You know this old world is a great world after all. Smile, darn ya, smile! And right away watch “Lady Luck” pay you a call. Things are never black as they are painted. Time for you and joy to get acquainted. Make life worth while. Come on and smile, darn ya, smile! 2. What’s the use of walking in the shadows each day? There’s no sense in looking for the rain. Here’s the surest way to drive the shadows away: Follow this advice; it’s mighty plain: CHORUS 2: Smile, darn ya, smile! For there is nothing that you cannot overcome. Smile, darn ya, smile! And where the clouds appear, you soon will find the sun. Life is really only what you make it. Stand right up and show them you can take it. Make life worth while. Come on and smile, darn ya, smile! - - - There are several recordings available but most have only the chorus sung. But I was able to find this one on the Internet Archive: Ambrose and His Orchestra, on Electrola EG 2474, 1931. and this one on Spotify: Billy Cotton and His Band that include the first verse. |

Subject: Lyr Add: NEVER SMILE AT A CROCODILE From: Jim Dixon Date: 27 Mar 24 - 02:14 PM My transcription from the recording at the Internet Archive: NEVER SMILE AT A CROCODILE Words and music by Frank Churchill and Jack Lawrence, 1939—see note below. As recorded by Paulette Sisters with Larry Clinton and His Orchestra, on Columbia 39953, 1953. Never smile at a crocodile. No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile. Don't be taken in by his welcome grin. He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin. Never smile at a crocodile. Never tip your hat and stop to talk awhile. Never run; walk away; say good-night, not good-day. Clear the aisle and never smile at Mister Crocodile. You may very well be well-bred— Lots of etiquette in your head— But there's always some special case, Time or place to forget etiquette, For instance: If you meet a sad crocodile Who looks bad and lonely and mild, He’s just hungry; that you can bet. It’s the time to forget etiquette. Never smile at a crocodile. No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile. Don't be taken in by his welcome grin. He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin. Never smile at a crocodile. Never tip your hat and stop to talk awhile. Don’t be rude; never mock; throw a kiss, not a rock. Clear the aisle and never smile at Mister Crocodile. - - - Notes from Second Hand Songs: “Written by Churchill and Lawrence for the Disney cartoon movie version of Peter Pan when it was first being developed. The movie was released more than ten years after Churchill's death, and only featured an instrumental version of the song. The version with lyrics was cut from the movie, but appeared on other releases around the same time.” |

Yeah, you're about to go insane, Cause your woman's playing games, And she says that you're to blame, You got to keep on smilin', keep on smilin'. Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughing at the pain, Just going with the changes, til the sun comes out again, Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughing at the pain, Going with the changes, and just singing this refrain. Singing in a honky tonk cafe, Nobody's hearing what you play, Yeah, they're too busy drinking anyway, You got to keep on smilin', brother keep on smilin'. Say you found a peace of land, Gonna change from city boy to country man, Yeah, try to build your life with your hands, And just keep on smilin', keep on smilin'. Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughing at the pain, Going with the changes, keep on singing this refrain. You're just hanging out in the local bar, And you're wondering who the hell you are, Are you a farmer, are you a star?

Here’s a little thought that’s worth your while: CHORUS: When you’re blue, and kinda lonely too, You’ll find a smile will go a long, long way. Though you’re down, don’t sit around and frown. A little smile will go a long, long way. Never grieve; just try and make believe. The sky is blue altho’ you know it’s grey. Don’t you pine; it’s just a waste of time. You’ll find a smile will go a long, long way. 2. Once I used to think my case was hopeless, Never wore a smile the livelong day, But since I learned to smile, My life has been worth while. That is just the reason why I say: CHORUS - - - You can hear a 1924 recording by Billy Burton at the Internet Archive. |

Published by Broadway Music Corp., New York, 1919. 1. Oh, don’t you remember your school days when a tot, When teacher taught you right from wrong? You failed in your lessons; you’d say that you forgot. Then teacher would help you along, And when the skies were cloudy, and all the kids looked blue, She’d say, “Just think what Shakespeare said; here’s what you must do:” CHORUS: Smile and the world smiles with you; weep and you weep alone. Tho’ tears bring sadness, smiles will bring gladness. Chase the gloom and brighten your home. (Don’t worry.) Storm clouds have silver linings; sunshine comes sailing through. So don’t frown or you will be lonely; smile and the world smiles with you. 2. Our school days are over; we’re grown up girls and boys With love and happiness at stake. When sorrows pursue you, and life has lost its joys, Then you don’t know which road to take, The straight road is the great road; its path will lead you right. And if you’ll only follow it, a smile will be your light. CHORUS. - - - The Internet Archive has a recording by: Lewis James and Peerless Quartet, 1919. |

One day that I was walking all through the shady grove,
False deceitful young girls are easy to be found,
I’ll be all smiles tonight, boys, I’ll be all smiles tonight |
