Song by Donald O'Connor<br /><br>
Cosmo:<br>
Though the world is so full of a number things,<br>
I know we should all be as happy as<br>
But are we?<br>
No, definitely no, positively no.<br>
Decidedly no. Mm mm.<br>
Short people have long faces and <br>
Long people have short faces.<br>
Big people have little humor<br>
And little people have no humor at all!<br>
And in the words of that immortal buddy<br>
Samuel J. Snodgrass, as he was about to be lead<br>
To the guillotine:<br>
<br>
Make 'em laugh<br>
Make 'em laugh<br>
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?<br>
(Ha ha!)<br>
My dad said "Be an actor, my son<br>
But be a comical one<br>
They'll be standing in lines<br>
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"<br>
<br>
Now you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite<br>
And you can charm the critics and have nothin' to eat<br>
Just slip on a banana peel <br>
The world's at your feet <br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
<br>
Make 'em...<br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh <br>
My grandpa said go out and tell 'em a joke <br>
But give it plenty of hoke <br>
<br>
Make 'em roar <br>
Make 'em scream <br>
Take a fall <br>
But a wall <br>
Split a seam <br>
<br>
You start off by pretending <br>
You're a dancer with grace <br>
You wiggle 'till they're <br>
Giggling all over the place <br>
And then you get a great big custard pie in the face <br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
<br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
Don't you know... all the...wants..? <br>
My dad...<br>
They'll be standing in lines<br>
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines <br>
<br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh? <br>
<br>
Ah ha ha ha ha ha há<br>
Ah ha ha ha ha ha <br>
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha <br>
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha <br>
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!<br>
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!<br>
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!<br>
<br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
Make 'em laugh <br>
Make 'em laugh!<br>
 <br>
