7 in the morning, it’s warm in the deli,
but the corner of Broadway and Bleecker is smelly,
investing in a beer, while those going to work
Are looking at me like I’m some kind o’ jerk,

Ladies and Gentlemen, mistaken identity
I’m not who you think I am, are you who you’re meant to be?
Everything changes, decisions over-ruled
Personally speaking, I think we’ve been fooled

honest persuasion, indecent evasion
mind games and monkeys, a private invasion
Believe it or not, amidst all this commotion
I was thinking of an old friend, the finest emotion,

just keep on smiling, ‘cos somebody loves you
Down here in the deli, where the street corner’s smelly…………etc
just keep on smiling, ‘cos somebody loves you
Standin’ in the rain, on the corner of the avenue...
It’s always debatable, will one beer suffice?
I’m gonna risk 2 & take Phil’s good advice
Desolate moments, seems I was ambushed
by 5 beers again, we were dancing in the rain....

I’ll put pen to paper, hopeful and courageous
and write to an old friend, nothing outragous
Hey, wanna do a shot Jo?, Underground notoriety
Today I don’t need this feeling of sobriety,

just keep on smiling, ‘cos somebody loves you
Standin’ in the rain, on the corner of the avenue,
just keep on smiling, ‘cos somebody loves you
Better take the last train, it’s the only thing left to do now…….

just keep on smiling, ‘cos somebody loves you
Down here in the deli, where the street corner’s smelly,
just keep on smiling, ‘cos somebody loves you
Standin’ in the rain, on the corner of the avenue….
just keep on smiling, ‘cos somebody loves you
and that somebody’s me
