Songtexte Make 'Em Laugh - Donald O'Connor

Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?

My dad said "Be and actor, my son
But be a comical one"
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky-tonk monkeyshines

Or 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 you 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 hoke"
Make 'em roar, make 'em scream
Take a fall, butt a wall, split a seam

You could start 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
Don't you know... all the... want

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
