You really should accept this time he's gone for good
He'll never come back now even though he said he would
So darling, dry your eyes, so many other guys
Would give the world, I'm sure, to wear the shoes he wore

Oh, come on
Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie
Where's the use in cryin'?
In a little while you'll see, Rosemarie
You must keep on tryin'
I know that he hurt you bad
I know, darling, don't be sad
And smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie, Rosemarie

I guess you're lonely now love's comin' to an end
But darling, only now are you free to start again
Lift up your pretty chin, don't let those tears begin
You're a big girl now and you'll pull through somehow

Oh, come on
Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie
Where's the use in cryin'?
In a little while you'll see, Rosemarie
You must keep on tryin'
I know that he hurt you bad
I know darling don't be sad
And smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie, Rosemarie
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah
Bah bah
Bah bah bah bah

Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie, Rosemarie
