I have to post the whole thing!

Hey, hobo man
Hey, Dapper Dan
You've both got your style
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

Your clothes may be Beau Brummelly
They stand out a mile --
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

Who cares what they're wearing
On Main Street,
Or Saville Row,
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe
(That matters)

So, Senator,
So, Janitor,
So long for a while
Remember,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

Song seems to be directed at men interestingly. I’m off to see if Annie is on any of my subscription services...

MadisonAvenue · 14/03/2018 12:37

This is totally lost on me. What's offensive about it?

Coconutspongexo · 14/03/2018 12:37

Am I the only one who can’t find this tshirt? Yes I am that sad that I’ve just looked through nexts website for it

Jeezoh · 14/03/2018 12:39

I’m afraid I can’t get worked up about this and wonder why some people appear to enjoy look for eays to be offended!

happyvalley74 · 14/03/2018 12:39

You're B massively U because now I have that fucking song in my head

Coconutspongexo · 14/03/2018 12:40

There’s lots of girl power, girls are superhero’s, going to change the world t shirts though which I find nics

Coconutspongexo · 14/03/2018 12:40

RedRedDogsBeg · 14/03/2018 12:41

cucaracha · 14/03/2018 12:41

Next also sells a girls tshirt that says "bonjour"

VladmirsPoutine · 14/03/2018 12:41

MadisonAvenue Because it's essentially telling women to 'smile'.

Sirzy · 14/03/2018 12:42

Can’t see any issue I think as slogan t shorts go that’s pretty good actually

Coconutspongexo · 14/03/2018 12:43

I don’t understand the issue at all

My son has lots of tshirts that say smile, ‘smile every day’ etc

iklboo · 14/03/2018 12:44

It's essentially not though.

Better than the mug I saw with 'better late than ugly' and a picture of lipstick & eyeshadow next to the slogan.

Soubriquet · 14/03/2018 12:44

Another with this song now stuck in my head Grin

ethelfleda · 14/03/2018 12:44

How can you be offended by this??

PinkyBlunder · 14/03/2018 12:45

Mmmmm nope. Cant quite reach me pearls on this one.

notangelinajolie · 14/03/2018 12:46

Could the OP or some knowledgeable person please explain what they think the OP thinks is wrong with this slogan?

ppeatfruit · 14/03/2018 12:47

This is not completely relevant I know, but I heard on the radio that smiling actually makes you feel better and also others who are smiled at. Smile Smile

GabsAlot · 14/03/2018 12:47

It's a lot better than "Diamonds are a girl's best friend".

wanderings · 14/03/2018 12:48

I remember my dad sneering at a childhood book: Winnie the Pooh's Happy and Healthy Book, which had advice such as "comb your hair, and wear a nice smile".

RedRedDogsBeg · 14/03/2018 12:48

I think the op was hoping to set off some big 'campaign' with her at the healm.... maybe getting people tweeting next, daily mail involved etc etc

Basically liven up her life a bit by causing some drama that she could claim she started....
