Make'em Laugh
Make'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh.
My dad said, "Be an actor my son."
"...but be a comical one!"
They will be standing in lines,
for those old honky-tonk monkeyshine.
Now you could study Shakespeare
and be quite elite.
And you could charm the critics and have nothing 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 Laugh
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, butt 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 kaugh, make'em laugh!
