Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone want's to laugh? Haa haa
My dad said, "Be a, 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

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 hope"

Make 'em roar
Make 'em scream
Take a fall, butt a wall, split a seam

You start up by pretending you're a dancer with grace
You wiggle 'til 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, what?
My dad

They'll be standing in lines for those old honky-tonk monkeyshines

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

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