Sometimes I Just Forget To Smile
Michael Franks
[Verse 1]
Earthquakes, and my bug breaks
You need lights to see through the smog
It's like D-Day out on the freeway
I'd like to crawl back under my log
[Chorus]
All these Rolls Royce Hip
Roll down the Sunset Strip
Just like the pharaohs down the Nile
Sometimes I just forget to smile
[Verse 2]
Dog bites, lost kites
He says "thanks" but he never says "please"
We both shave and we jump waves
He never has much skin on his knees
[Chorus]
You know he's got the habit now
For Peter Rabbit now
And Disney crocodiles
Sometimes I just forget to smile
[Keyboard Solo]
[Chorus]
All these movie stars
And all this Jane-and-Tarzan
Just to run the three-minute mile
Sometimes I just forget to smile
