Donald O'Connor - Make 'Em Laugh

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! Yy!

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!
Don't you know... all the...wants..?
My dad...
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines

Make 'em laugh!
Make 'em laugh!
Don't you know everyone...?

Ha, ha, ha...
Make 'em laugh, ha ha!
Make 'em laugh, ha ha!
Make 'em laugh, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Make 'em laugh!
Make 'em laugh!
Make 'em laugh!!!
