Lyrics
SUNGLASSES AND A SMILE
The girls are always lookin? for
The very latest fashion,
Some chic new ensemble
Designed to incite passion.
Style and accessorize
From tippy-top to toe,
Trying to catch your eye,
They put on quite a show.
But they?ve got nothing on,
Nothing on my gal?s wardrobe.
Ooh, I like her shades
And her grin so cute;
Must be her birthday
?Cuz she?s wearin? that suit.
She sure surpasses
All those young lasses in style,
Wearing only her sunglasses ?
Sunglasses and a smile.
Those girls keep trying harder
And harder to attract,
But my girl?s way smarter,
Way smarter than that.
When she goes shopping,
There?s one thing she knows:
I?ll stop at nothing
When it comes to her clothes.
Might be the next groovy craze,
Catchin? all those UV rays.
Ooh, I like her shades
And her grin so cute;
Must be her birthday
?Cuz she?s wearin? that suit.
She sure surpasses
All those young lasses in style,
Wearing only her sunglasses ?
Sunglasses and a smile.
Ooh, I love her shades,
And I love her grin,
But what I like most
Is the skin she?s in.
You can have your Halston?s
And your Christian Dior?s,
I?ll be having much more fun
Countin? my gal?s pores!
Ooh, I like her shades
And her grin so cute;
Must be her birthday
?Cuz she?s wearin? that suit.
She sure surpasses
All those young lasses in style,
Wearing only her sunglasses ?
Sunglasses and a smile.
Ooh, I like her shades
And her grin so cute;
Must be her birthday
?Cuz she?s wearin? that suit.
She sure surpasses
All those young lasses in style,
Wearing only her sunglasses ?
Sunglasses and a smile.
Come on, Honey,
Grin and bare it;
It?s no sin
To share it.
You keep wearin?
Those sunglasses,
And I?ll keep wearin?
This smile.
