“Laugh”

Every face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns
And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down

Laugh
’Cause the music is funny
Yeah, the bass sounds off-beat
Ain’t that neat?

Laugh (Ho, ha-ha ha)
When you lose all your money (Ho, ha-ha ha)
Or you can’t find your shoes (Ho, ha-ha ha)
To cover your feet (Ho, ha-ha ha)

(Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da)
It’s not so hard to see exactly what I’m after
(Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da)
Sometimes a tear should fall, but I require giggles and chuckles (Ho ho ho)

Laugh (Ho, ha-ha ha)
When you’re keepin’ a secret (Ho, ha-ha ha)
And it seems to be known (Ho, ha-ha ha)
By the rest of the world (Ho, ha-ha ha)

Laugh (Ho, ha-ha ha)
When you go to a party (Ho, ha-ha ha)
And you can’t tell the boys (Ho, ha-ha ha)
From the girls (Ho, ha-ha ha)

(Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da)
Every face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns
(Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da)
And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down, yeah, yeah, yeah

Laugh (Ho, ha-ha ha)
At the things that are wrong (Ho, ha-ha ha)
If you think it’s this song (Yeah, ha-ha ha)
Then laugh (Ho, ha-ha ha)
Then laugh (Ho, ha-ha ha)
Then laugh (Ho, ha-ha ha)
