Lyrics

When you're smiling
(When you're smiling)
When you're smiling
(When you're smiling)
And the whole world smiles with you
(Smiles with you)
And when you're laughin'
(When you're laughin')
Oh, you're laughin'
(Oh, you're laughin')
And the sun comes shinin' through
(Shinin' through)
When you're cryin'
(When you're cryin')
You bring on the rain
(Bring on the rain)
Stop your sighin'
(Stop your sighin')
Won't you be happy again
(Happy again)
When you're smiling
(When you're smiling)
Keep on smilin'
(Keep on smilin')
And the whole world smiles with you
Let's go now
Let's go, Sam
Yeah, wanna
When you're laughin'
You bring on the joy
(Bring on the joy)
Be happy
(Be happy)
You gotta groove my boy
(You gotta groove my boy)
When you're smiling
(When you're smiling)
Keep on smilin'
(Keep on smilin')
And the whole world smiles with you
'Cause I'm the sheik of Araby
(With no turban on)
Your love belongs to me
(With no turban on)
At night when you're asleep
(With no turban on)
Baby, into your tent I'll creep
(With no turban on)
And the stars that shine above
(Jappered as a jaybird)
Will light our way to love
(Jappered as a jaybird)
And you'll rule this crazy land with me
(Jappered as a jaybird)
I'm the sheiky man
That's who I be
That's who I be
Yeah, boy, look out, now
(There he is, there he is)
(Whoa, yeah)
(Yeah, wildman)
(Yeah, oh, oh, oh)
(Hey, oh, oh, oh)
(Hey, oh, oh, oh)
(Hey, hey, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(One more for Louis, yes)
(Carry on now)
