"With a Smile and a Song" is a popular song. The music was written by Frank Churchill, the lyrics by Larry Morey.[1] The song was published in 1937. Credit is also sometimes given to Leigh Harline. The song was sung by Adriana Caselotti in the Walt Disney animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.[1] It also featured in the stage adaptation from the film.

On December 9 1937, Shep Fields collaborated with the jazz accordionist John Serry Sr. in a recording of the song for Regal Records that had a novelty, march tempo rhythm and featured Bob Goday on vocals.[2][3]

Teddy Wilson recorded the song as a relaxed, mid-temp shuffle for Brunswick on December 17, 1937 with Pee Wee Russell, clarinet; Hot Lips Page, trumpet; Sally Gooding, vocal; Chu Berry, tenor sax and Alan Reuss, guitar. They recorded two alternate takes that day, one with Reuss soloing. 

Doris Day recorded the song with a children's choir for her 1964 album of the same name, With a Smile and a Song. A spoof of the song was used in Shrek the Third.

Snow White (played by Ginnifer Goodwin) hums the song while sweeping the dwarfs' house in the episode "Heart of Darkness" of Once Upon a Time.
