O’CONNOR [SINGING]:
They’ll be standin’ in lines
For those old honky-tonk monkeyshines
Or you could study Shakespeare
And be quite elite
And you can charm the critics
And have nothin’ to eat
Just slip on a banana peel
The world’s at your feet
Make ’em laugh
Make ’em laugh
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 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 ’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…
My dad…
They’ll be standing in lines
