*SPOKEN*
So remember,
Short people have long faces, long people have short faces
Big people have little humour, and little people have no humour at all!
And in the words of that immortal bard, Samuel J.Snodgrass
As he was about to be led to zee guillotine
*MUSIC*
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'll be standing in the lines
For those old honky tonk monkey shines!
Now you could study Shakespeare, 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 them a joke,
But give it plenty of hoke!”
Make'em roar
Make'em scream
Take a fall
Bust 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
Then you get a great big custard pie in the face!
Make'em laugh
Make'em laugh
Make'em laugh
*INSTRUMENTAL*
Make'em laugh
Make'em laugh
Make'm laugh
Make'em laugh
Make'em laugh
Make'em laughhhhhh!
