A street blues that should eventually be arranged with cross harp and a band. This is the original take which records the song as I ad libbed it after a few beers in the middle of the night.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song about a friend of mine and some of the things we've been going through, and been through. A lot of history about the old D.C. punk scene.
Lyrics
"Made This Girl Smile" copyright 2012 Mark Bernheisel
I met you by the jungle gym, on a hot August day.
You showed me your white flowers, under your dress.
Now hey now hey-ee-yay-ee...
Yeah yeah yeah yea-ee yea-ee...
Oh now now now now baby...
Hey-ee yeah Oh now hey yeah...
Hey-ee yeah yeah Hey-ee yeah yeah...
Oh now now...
Just a couple of old punks wonderin'...
why this world gotta be so hard...
It ain't been kind to us baby...
this old planet... or maybe it has...
Yeah my girl just left.
Went back to her old man...
for the sake of the kid, yeah!
I guess it's better that way.
She ain't got no tattoo... Like you!
Oh no piercing scars.
No wounds from the mosh pit.
Just a pretty little thing.
Hey yea yeah... hey yea yeah...
Oh now baby just a pretty little thing.
Just a pretty little thing... baby now now...
She ain't like you.
Next time you come over,
wear one of your long dresses girl,
no bra, no panties... let me see
what you got now... baby we'll see then...
Baby oh yeah maybe now...
We'll see then girl..
Gonna see 'bout it then...
Girl now I just wanna see what you got...
Underneath your pajamas girl,
your hood, your runnin' engine now...
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout girl...
Mmmm now now...
Hey now baby now hey!
Hey now baby now hey now!
I just gotta lotta pain
I can't cure now!
Yeah my buddy's got this old tattoo...
says, "f*** the world" yeah f*** the world now...
Girl I like it that you're not so happy happy joy joy joy...
I like that smirk on your face.
Yeah it ain't right now baby...
What their doin' babe...
Hey now now baby no no no...
You make me feel alright now.
Remind me of the old days...
Rockin' the DC punk scene baby...
Down at Dupont...
Down at Dupont...
Seein' the shows down at the Bayoo now baby...
Down by the river on K Street...
Old punks hangin' 'round out there now...
with their shaved heads...
ain't hatin' nobody now baby...
just doin' their thing...
tryin' to get on by now baby...
in this hard old world...
Can't steal my soul, ain't in control.
Ain't in command, I'm in your hands.
Something's comin' on through me.
I'm gonna let it out now baby.
I'm givin' it all to the world...
