                There comes a day for everyone when things just get you down

                And when it comes, do something good and throw away your frown:

                 

                Just tell yourself that you’re the best - God’s very favourite child.

                The day that you arrived on earth was when all your family smiled!

                 

                Your Mum and Dad looked at your face and your pretty little eyes

                They loved just every part of you – just as if you were a prize.

                 

                Tell yourself, you’re still the same - much better than the rest

                (It’s hard keep your mouth shut when you know that you’re the best!)

                 

                So brush away that frowning face, and dress it with your smile

                First wash and dress, then do your hair and show the world your style.

                 

                When everyone goes home tonight, they’ll remember who they met –

                The smartest one, the cleverest one – it’s you they mean, you bet!
