Make ’Em Laugh Lyrics by Donald O’Connor

Singin’ In The Rain (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (1996 Release)

[COSMO]
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
Ah-ha
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 elite
And you could charm the critics and have nothing to eat
Just slip on a banana peel, the world's 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 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 start off by pretending you're a dancer with grace
You wiggle 'til 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
[Instrumental break]
[COSMO]
Ah-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha-ha, ha
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
