One, two, three, four
Woohoo
I was walking down the street the other day
Who did I meet?

I met a friend of mine and he did say
Man, I can smell your feet a mile away

Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away

I was walking down the street the other day
Ah, who did I meet?
I met a friend of mine and he did say
Man, I can smell your breath a mile away

Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away
Smile away, come on now, hoo, sweet little girl, smile away
Yes, sir smile away, now smile away, quietly now
Hoo hoo
Smile away now
Smile away, smile away, smile away, yes, sir, smile away

Ah, who did I meet?
I met a friend of mine and he did say
Well, I can smell your teeth a mile away

Smile away, oh, oh, oh, oh, smile away, oh, oh, smile away, oh, oh, oh, oh, smile away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, smile away, oh, oh, oh, oh, smile away, oh, oh, oh, oh, smile away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, smile away, oh, oh

No - the "low point is 10 years after this.

Give Sir Paul a break.

He was in love with his wife, and they were in a band together having fun playing RnR.

This album is OK, better than the 1980s crap they put out.

Maybe the weakest song on the album but the energetic vocal helps boost it up some.

Hey OTB!  BillG just quoted you.  7.34 seconds of fame on RP.
Me thinks this one would be better live.   Especially after a pitcher of beer....
 
{#Roflol}  I guess that means I still have 14 minutes and 52.66 seconds of fame coming!

RAM was very under rated. Enjoy it (and second album) much more than the rest

 
Here, here.  Totally underrated.

When I find myself in times of trouble...

Man, I could smell your breath a mile away.

I thought for a moment that perhaps this was the Wombles with a few beers on board.

I LOVE THIS PERIOD OF MCCARTNEY!

particularly the missus in the background "ahomdeeahdahdoodah ahomdeeahdahdoodah"

I met a friend of mine and did say

Smile away, horribly now. 

 
Yep, incredibly stupid, but it made me smile today as it did back in college.

What a surprise! I sang along to this and other songs from this on my first 8-track player in my room every day after school...Fun stuff!

I have a strange fondness for this song, and I even respect and admire Paul for being unafraid to put something out there so completely and utterly absurd.  {#Lol}

Well, Paul and Linda were having fun. But I'd say they sold this because they're, well, Paul and Linda. And if Eleanor Rigby and Michelle, among other Paul creations, were real people, they'd be throwing bricks.

Haven't heard this nugget in an eon!  I wouldn't want it on heavy rotation, but it's a pleasant blast from the past.
