| Cause my hair is curly
|
| Just because my teeth are pearly
|
| Just because I always wear a smile
|
| Like to dress up in the latest style
|
| Cause I’m glad I’m livin'
|
| I take these troubles all with a smile
|
| Just because my color’s shady
|
| That’s the difference, maybe, why they call me
|
| Shine, sway your blues’ies
|
| Why don’t you shine?
|
| Start with your shoes’ies
|
| Shine each place up, make it look like new
|
| Shine your face up, I want to see you wear a smile or two
|
