One day I was walking and I
met a little worm.
All that worm could do was
smile and I began to squirm.
When I asked him why he
smiled though all
the world was gray,
He smiled at me, real mild at
me, and then I heard him say,
Just keep on smiling,
Life can be worth-whiling,
If you keep on smiling,
Life smiles back at you.
Now I find that every time my
spirit starts to fail,
When I meet a grizzly bear
while going for the mail,
Or if a mad rhinoceros decides
to come and stay,
My thoughts return,
Straight to that worm,
And what I heard him say.
Just keep on smiling,
Life can be worth-whiling,
If you keep on smiling,
Life smiles back at you.
[Repeat chorus twice more]
