Arthur Freed - Make 'Em Laugh lyrics

Make 'em laugh! Make 'em laugh! Don't you know everyone wants to laugh? Ha ha! My dad said, "Be an actor, my son But be a comical one!" They'll be standing in lines For those old honkytonk monkeyshines You might study Shakespeare and be quite elite And you might 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 'em laugh! Don't you know everyone wants to laugh? My grandpa said, "Go out and tell 'em a joke But give it plenty of hoke!" Make 'em roar! Make 'em scream! Take a fall, bu*t 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! (comedy break) Make 'em laugh! Don't you know everyone wants to laugh? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Make 'em laugh! Make 'em laugh! Make 'em laugh! Make 'em laugh! Make 'em laugh! Make 'em laugh!
