MAKE 'EM LAUGH 
(Nacio Herb Brown / Arthur Freed)
Donald O'Connor


Make em laugh, make em laugh, 
Don't you know all the world wants to laugh, aha! 
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 can study Shakespeare and be quite alight, 
and you can charm the critics and have nothing to eat, 
Just slip on a banana peel, 
The worlds 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 em a joke, 
But give it plenty of hope! 

Make em roar, make em scream, 
Take a fall but a Walsh would it seem, 
It's not of by pretending you're a dancer with grace, 
You wiggle till they giggle and 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! 

They'll be standing in lines, 
For those old honky tonk monkey shines, 
ahahahahahahahahahaha! 
Make em laugh, make em laugh, make em laugh, (2x)
