Take a fall, butt 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
Make 'em laugh
Don't you - all the
What?-
My Dad-
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky-tonk monkeyshines

Ah-ha-ha-ha

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha-ha
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
