“Smile…and the world smiles with you,
you cry and you cry alone,
the world’s got alot to give you,
so you are never going to be alone.

You put one and one together,
and maybe it comes to three,
just try making love and you will see
and the answer will be me.

CHORUS:
Simple little things make the world go round,
simple little things are the best I’ve found,
simple little things like the sweetheart tree,
simple little things like you loving me.

Don’t worry about tomorrow,
tomorrow we just can’t see,
just try to think about the simple things,
and leave the rest to me.

Smile and the world smiles with you,
you cry and you cry alone,
the world’s got alot to give you,
so you are never going to be alone.

Simple little things make the world go round,
simple little things are the best I’ve found,
simple little things like the sweetheart tree,
simple little things like you loving me.

Simple little things make the world go round,
simple little things are the best I’ve found,
simple little things like the sweetheart tree,
simple little things like you loving me.”

“Do you remember when,
we used to sit on Grandad’s knee,
and how we used to love,
the jam and butter.. we had for tea.

It didn’t seem so long ago, like only yesterday.
Oh…it was great then man,
It was Sunday, every day.

CHORUS:
It was Sunday every day then,
we had far more time to play,
have those dreams all gone away,
when will they come back to stay.

Do you recall the time, old Uncle Joe,
would tell us that rhyme, you know…
the one about the great big worm(?),
oh…it used to make our tummies turn.
He said it had a great big mouth,
great big teeth, great big goggly eyes.
Why he was only joking, but we didn’t realise.

It was Sunday every day then,
we had far more time to play,
have those dreams all gone away,
when will they come back to stay.

It was Sunday every day then,
we had far more time to play,
have those dreams all gone away,
when will they come back to stay.

Wae’aye man
it was great then.”
