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 lines For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"
Now you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite And you can charm the critics and have nothin' 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 roar Make 'em scream Take a fall But 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 Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh
