Make 'Em Laugh
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Though the world is so full of a number things
I know we should all be as happy as
But are we?
No, definitely no, positively no
Decidedly no, mm mm
Short people have long faces and
Long people have short faces
Big people have little humor
And little people have no humor at all!
And in the words of that immortal buddy
Samuel J.Snodgrass, as he was about to be lead
To the guillotine
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
(Ha ha!)
My dad said be an actor, my son
But be a comical one
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines
Now you could study shakespeare and be quite elite
And you can charm the critics and have nothin' to eat
Just slip on a banana peel
The world's at your feet
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh
My grandpa said go out and tell 'em a joke
But give it plenty of hoke
Make 'em roar
Make 'em scream
Take a fall
But a wall
Split a seam
You start off by pretending
You're a dancer with grace
You wiggle 'till they're
Giggling all over the place
And then you get a great big custard pie in the face
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
Ah ha ha ha ha ha há
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha
Make 'em laugh, ha ha!
Make 'em laugh, ha ha!
Make 'em laugh, ha ha ha!
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh!
