Don’t Laugh Lyrics
[SALLY]
Show me a glass of water
I'll show you a soggy dress
Show me a tube of toothpaste
I'll show you a mess
Show me a fresh-laid sidewalk
And guess where my footprints are?
Show me a fire hydrant
I'll show you my car
Show me the latest dance step
I'll show you the latest fall
Show me the train to Boston
I'll show you St. Paul
Show me a hundred lighters
I'll show you the one that won't
Show me a priceless vase—
No, don't!
Maybe it's my name
Maybe it's my face
Maybe it's my—both
All I know is:
Show me a canceled party
I show you the only guest
Show me an open manhole
And I'll do the rest
Show me a broken window
I'll show you a bat and ball
Show me the boat to Europe
I'll show you St. Paul
Ask me to give directions
I'll give you a vacant lot
Show me a knot that's tangled
I'll show you a tangled knot
Show me a nest of hornets...
Maybe it's my name
Maybe it's my face
Maybe it's my—both
Maybe I can do—
Don't laugh—
Good
Maybe I can do—
Don't laugh—
Well
Maybe you could be—
Who knows?—
Proud
All right, so laugh—
But not too loud
If I can convince
(Don't laugh) me
Why can't I convince
(Don't leave) you?
Give me half a chance
Just half
And then—
Don't laugh—
Maybe I could be
Proud of me
Too
If I can convince
(Don't laugh) me
Why can't I convince
(Don't leave) you?
Give me half a chance
Just half
And then—
Don't laugh—
Maybe I could be
Proud of me
Too
Show me a barren hillside
I'll show you a field of grass!
Show me an empty schoolroom
I'll show you a class!
Show me an epidemic
I'll show you a board of health!
Show me a starving people!
Show me an insurrection!
Show me a restless native!
Show me the way to get there!
Show me what's on your clipboard!
Sally is gonna do—
Don't laugh—
Good!
Sally is gonna do—
Don't laugh—
Well!
Everything's gonna be—
You watch—
Fine!
You hear a laugh?
That laugh is mine!
Everything will be done—
I hope—
Right!
Everything will be right—
Don't ask
How
Look at it all fall into place—
Maybe it's my name
Maybe it's my face!
Show me a job to do
And I'll show you
Now!
