  • Standing on the corner, got myself in hand
    Waiting for the come on
    From the come around man
    Smiling stranger
    Smiling stranger every day
    Smiling stranger
    Smiling stranger every day.

    Standing at the airport
    With the smile of a saviour
    Selling off a piece
    Of my favourite flavour
    Smiling stranger
    Smiling stranger every day
    I’m a smiling stranger
    Smiling stranger every day.

    Take good care of yourself
    And don’t you worry so
    Love is coming for us all
    Soon as we think it will
    Life is hard
    Yes I know, but it’s harder still
    Loving a smiling stranger.

    Standing at the welfare
    With the payoff in my hand
    Waiting for the gimme
    From the much obliged man
    Smiling stranger
    Smiling stranger every day
    I’m a smiling stranger
    Smiling stranger every day. Writer/s: JOHN MARTYN
