lyrics from reprint of 1967 sheet music
Ev'ry face that I see
Is all wrapped up in frowns
And unfortunately
It kind of gets me down
Laugh
'Cause the music is funny
Yea the bass sounds offbeat
Ain't that neat?
Laugh
When you lose all your money
Or you can't find your shoes
To cover your feet
It's not too hard to see
Exactly what I'm after
Sometimes a tear should fall
But I require giggles
And chuckles
Ho ho ho!
Laugh
When you're keeping a secret
And it seems to be known
By the rest of the world
Laugh
When you go to a party
And you can't tell the boys
From the girls
Ev'ry face that I see
Is all wrapped up in frowns
And unfortunately
It kind of gets me down
Laugh
At the things that are wrong
If you think it's this song
Then laugh
Then laugh
