Lyrics

'Cause my hair is curly, oh, so curly
'Cause my teeth are pearly, oh, so pearly
Just because I always wear a smile, oh, baby
And try to dress up in the, dress up in the latest style
I mean the latest style
'Cause I'm glad I'm living
Take trouble smiling
Never whine, oh, whine
'Cause my color's shady
And it's slightly different, maybe
That's why they call me shine
'Cause I'm glad I'm living
Take trouble smiling
Never whine, oh, whine
'Cause my color's shady
And it's slightly different, maybe
That's why they call, oh, baby
That's why they call me shine
