patience & prudence:
a smile is something special,
a ribbon is something rare,
so i'll be special and i'll be rare,
with a smile and a ribbon in my hair.
to be a girl they notice takes more than a fancy dress,
so i'll be noticed because i'll dress with a smile and a ribbon in my dresses.
the bigger my toothy grin is the smaller my troubles grow.
the louder i say i'm happy, the more i believe it so.
so i'll have that special something,
'cuz i know what to wear.
so i'll be special and i'll be rare,
i'll be something beyond compare,
i'll be noticed because i wear a smile
and a ribbon in my hair.
