about

Another early song. I still think it's got something to say even though it's an example of how a song can become dated by including the name of a politician. They all become yesterday's people before too long.

lyrics

Service with a Smile

Oh we believe in service with a smile
Yes, we believe in service with a smile
All of our employees go around grinning like chimpanzees
'Cos we believe in service with a smile

Oh, won't you gweet your gwanny with a gwin
'Cos you know how terrible she's bin
And the only reason she's still alive
Is 'cos she's pickled in gin
Oh, won't you gweet you gwanny with a gwin

Cos we believe in service with a smile...

Oh, mister politician won't you come and shake your hand with me
And bounce my little baby on your knee
Won't you toss him like a rugger ball
Watch him throwing up his tea
Mister politician won't you shake your hand with me

Cos we believe in service with a smile

Oh, I do like that nice Mister Heath
Oh, he's got such a lovely set of teeth
All of his constituents are in his ring of confidence
Oh, I do like that nice Mister Heath

Cos we believe in service with a smile

Oh, my favourite popstar, he's on TV
And he's smiling especially for me
Oh, he dances like a buttercup and he sings like a flea
(I stole that line from Mohammed Ali)

Cos we believe in service with a smile

Now Cinderella she's looking rather glum
So she's gone and sewn a smile badge on her bum
If you want to make her frown you're gonna
Have to turn her upside down
Oh, Cinderella she's looking rather glum

Cos we believe in service with a smile
Yes we do...
Cos we believe in service with a smile
Have a nice day !
Cos we believe in service with a smile
