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. Copyright © 2007 Lex Zaleta
