Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh

Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?

Ah-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 can 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

[Verse 2]

Make-

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, 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 laugh

Make 'em laugh

[Verse 3]

Make 'em laugh

Don't you-, all the

What?-

My Dad-

They'll be standing in lines

For those old honky-tonk monkeyshines

[Bridge]

Ah-ha-ha-ha

Ha-ha-ha-ha

Ah-ha-ha-ha, ha

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha

[Outro]

Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh
