Smiles, I was taught never to smile I was told the stylish smiles of buffoonery Chicanery and larceny abound My mom said unless someone sticks you right in front of a camera A smile is the last thing that you wanna do Those smiles, those mirthless toothy smiles Smiles, they all smile on tv The quizmaster with his withered crones The talkshow hosting movie stars, the politician licking feet The mugger, the rapist, the arsonic lover All smile out from the news, at one time or another Those smiles, those garish sickly smiles When I was young my mother said to me Never, ever, let anyone see that you're happy Smiles, never, ever let them see you smile They'll always put you down With those smiles, never, ever let them see you smile They'll always put you down With your smiles, never, ever let them see you smile Don't you know they'll make you go Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
