Song :
A
D
Make 'em laugh
Cmaj7
Make 'em laugh
C6 Cmaj7 C6
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7
My dad said "Be and actor, my son,
C6 A7aug D9 G7
but be a comical one"
G7aug C Cmaj7
They'll be standing in lines
C6 Cmaj7 C7 F
for those old honky-tonk monkeyshines
F#dim7 C
You can study Shakspeare and be quite elite
F F#dim7
You could charm the critics
C C7
and have nothing to eat
F F#dim7
Just slip on a banana peel,
Em A
the world at your feet
D7aug
Make 'em laugh
G7
Make 'em laugh
C
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
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 your a dancer with grace
Then you wiggle 'till they're giggling all over the place
Then you get a great big custard pie in the face
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em--
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!
