1. Turn Your Buttons Down (Toenails Won't Fail) [02:56]

Performed by: The Poohbahs

Uh-huh, uh-uh!
Uh-huh, uh-uh!
Toenails, (uh-huh)
Won't fail. (uh-uh)

Uffafluff and Oopidad were walking by the sea.
"Uffafluff," said Oopidad, "will no one marry me?"
"Oopidad," said Uffafluff, "I wouldn't care to say."
Then Uffafluff and Oopidad continued on their way.

Life is busy.
Life is grim.
Life's a light that's dim, dim, dim.
Treat it with a frow-wow-wown.
Turn your buttons down!

Don't be happy.
Don't be gay.
Don't just laugh your life away.
You can learn to frow-wow-wown.
Turn your buttons down!

Uh-huh, uh uh!
Uh-huh, uh uh!
Toenails, (uh-huh)
Won't fail. (uh-uh)

Uh-uh!

2. Keep on Smiling [01:34]

Performed by: Red, Gobo and Wembley

One day I was walking and I met a little worm.
All that worm could do was smile and I began to squirm.
When I asked him why he smiled though all the world was gray,
He smiled at me, real mild at me, and then I heard him say,

Just keep on smiling,
Life can be worth-whiling,
If you keep on smiling,
Life smiles back at you.

Now I find that every time my spirit starts to fail,
When I meet a grizzly bear while going for the mail,
Or if a mad rhinoceros decides to come and stay,
My thoughts return,
Straight to that worm,
And what I heard him say.

Just keep on smiling,
Life can be worth-whiling,
If you keep on smiling,
Life smiles back at you.
[Repeat chorus twice more]
