Lyrics
What you must keep in mind as the act curtains part Is a primary law of theatrical art Namely Smile, girls And you'll lay them in the aisle, girls If you smile, girls They'll die on the spot Smile, girls Drive 'em crazy with your youth, girls Flash a tooth, girls Give 'em everything you got— Which ain't an awful lot Smile, girls Or we're never gonna work, girls Just a smirk, girls Might well save the day Get style, girls And the customers will stay So smile, Agnes Smile, Dolores Smile, Thelma Smile, Whateveryournameis Smile, Edna Smile, Marjorie May Smile, girls Look deliriously clever And whatever Happens Smile No matter what When the scenery smacks you Smile When a stagehand attacks you Smile When they boo in the gallery Smile When I don't pay your salary Smile When the comedy's dying, smile When you all feel like crying, smile When tomatoes are flying—duck But Smile Smile, girls And when the act begins to sag Drag out the flag— And smile!
