For he who can sing and smile on his way Is the one who can really make life pay. It isn't the other fellow's fault If you haven't a single friend; If you carefully look, you'll find it's you, And your friendship you must mend. For the one who can always be cheerful and gay Is the one who can really make friendships pay. Life's pathway is strewn with roses and thorns. With sunshine and shadow, too, With laughter and tears, with smile or frown, They are all waiting choice from you. And he who can choose the best every day Is the one who can really make life pay.
