She’s forever smiling like the devil
Nothing ever gets her down
Even when her dog done died
She didn't give a frown
She’s always laughing
She’s always swell
What’s her secret, she won’t tell
Why is she so fucking happy
She could tell me but she won’t
Why is she so fucking happy
She must know something I don’t
What's her secret
She’s always got the world on a string
Everyone is singing her song
She’s always on the inside track
Everyone else is just plain wrong
She’s always dancing
She's gay as a sprite
I can’t get to her try as I might
She’s always got that knowing smile
But what does she know
Don’t bother even asking
She’ll just play her adagio
What’s the secret
She ain’t saying
If it’s a con I ain’t playing
