<br>

[Mack]<br>

Heartbreak and passion<br>

May both be in fashion<br>

But I wanna make the world laugh<br>

Let others do drama of sin and disgrace<br>

While I throw a fish in the heroine's face<br>

To keep them in stitches<br>

I burn the star's britches<br>

And saw cousin Sally in half<br>

Let Mister Griffith deal with humanity's woes<br>

I'd rather film the guy with the fly on his nose<br>

My goal and my mission<br>

My burning ambition<br>

Is ... I wanna make the world laugh!<br>

<br>

Some have a leaning<br>

For dark hidden meaning<br>

But I wanna make the world laugh<br>

Let other directors film tragic romance<br>

But I like a hero with ants in his pants<br>

Nothing I've found is<br>

As sweet as that sound is<br>

The music that fattens the calf<br>

My great new plot is not about tyranny's lash<br>

It deals with itching powder and Papa's mustache<br>

The curse I've been blessed with<br>

Completely possessed with<br>

Is ... I wanna make the world laugh!<br>

<br>

This curse I've been blessed with<br>

Completely possessed with<br>

Is ... I wanna make the world laugh!<br>

<br>
