Smile Mona Smile

That Mona Lisa thought she could smile
Well let me show her how it's done
She only had that Da Vinci dude
But me, I've got myself the sun

Just look at my long beautiful lashes
For these, Mona Lisa would have killed
Compared to me, that picture of her
Just looks like some paint got spilled

So keep right on smiling Mona Lisa
And I might even give you a nod
That Da Vinci dude might have been famous
But I was painted by the Hand of God
