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 honkytonk monkeyshines
You might study Shakespeare and be quite elite
And you might 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!
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, bu*t 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!
(comedy break)
Make 'em laugh!
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Make 'em laugh! Make 'em laugh! Make 'em laugh!
Make 'em laugh! Make 'em laugh! Make 'em laugh!
