ABOUT When You're Smiling:
"When You're Smiling" is a song by Larry Shay, Mark Fisher, and Joe Goodwin (June 6, 1889-July 31, 1943), and made famous by Louis Armstrong, who recorded it at least three times, in 1929, 1932, and 1956. Duke Ellington also recorded it several times earlier in his career.

Many other recordings exist, for example those by Studies in Swing No.3, Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra and Patti Page. Cliff Bruner brought it to the country charts in 1939. And also Nat King Cole sung it.

It was adopted by Leicester City F.C. as the club anthem, and can be heard at many of the team's games.

In 1961, Judy Garland performed the song at the Judy at Carnegie Hall concert.

Shirley Bassey performed this song, live, many times during the late 70's through early 80's as a tribute to her idol, and friend, Judy Garland.

Dean Martin also sang it, sometimes parodying it as "When You're Drinkin'".

LYRICS: When You're Smiling
When you're smiling, when you're smiling
The whole world, smiles with you.
When you're laughing, when you're Laughing
The sun comes shining through.

But when you're crying,
You bring on the rain.
So stop your sighing,
Be happy again.

When you're smiling, when you're smiling
The whole world, smiles with you!

If you suddenly found out you've been deceived,
Don't get peeved
If you're husband bluntly tells you you're too stout,
Don't you pout
And for heavens sake retain a calm demeanor,
If a cop walks up and hands you a sapina.
If the groom should take a powder
While you're marching down the aisle,
Don't weep and moan
Because he's blown,
Just face the world and smile.

'Cause when you're cryin' don't you know
That you're make up starts to run
And you're eyes get red and scrappy.
Forget your troubles have yourself a little fun, have a ball!
Forget it all!
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy!

'Cause when you're smiling, when you're smiling,
The whole world smiles with you!
