Smile Smile For a While

My name is Mr. Happy.
Spelled H-A-P-P-Y. 
Also known as Pappy.
Spelled P-A-P-P-Y.
I am the Mr. Happy Pappy guy.
And, I hate to see kids cry...
I hate to see kids cry.
So... Smile, Smile for a while
In a happy smiley face style.
Can your smiles be in a pile?
Smile, Smile for a while.
Wear it proudly for a trial.
Can you wear it for a half mile?
Smile, Smile for a while.
Put a laugh in the smile pile.
Can it last for a whole mile?
Smile. Smile for a while.
Make it your own style.
Can a laugh and a smile
Walk down the aisle?
Smile, Smile for a while.
Put a giggle in the pile.
Can they go single file
For half past a mile?
Smile. Smile for a while.
Smiles, laughter, giggles in a pile.
Together they go more than a mile.
Remember me... Mr. Happy Pappy 
When I'm not around.
The place where you imagine
Is the place where I am found.
