|
There once was a boy
|
|
Who lived all alone by the sea
|
|
He was a charmer
|
|
A charmer of highest degree
|
|
But the sea was lonely
|
|
And sometimes there was no one to charm
|
|
So this clever boy had a way to charm himself
|
|
He meant no harm
|
|
He¡¯d dance and sing and laugh and smile
|
|
And after a while he¡¯d roll right on the ground
|
|
He¡¯d sing his song all day long
|
|
Had no words just this crazy sound
|
|
*Called the laughing song, all day long
|
|
Called the laughing song, all day long
|
|
Called the laughing song, all day long
|
|
He¡¯d laugh, he¡¯d laugh, he¡¯d laugh
|
|
There were days when this boy was so wound up
|
|
He practically laughed his head off
|
|
Dancin¡¯ and singin¡¯ and gigglin¡¯ and wigglin¡¯
|
|
He got so silly, he could hardly let off
|
|
One such day a ship came by
|
|
And to its surprise, heard the funny noise
|
|
Captain noticed the gigglin¡¯ swimmer
|
|
And with a loud cry, look at that boy
|
|
While in the middle of a backstroke
|
|
And boy noticed the ship, he laughed even more
|
|
And soon all the crew couldn¡¯t help themselves
|
|
They were rollin¡¯ on the floor
|
|
*Repeat
|
|
The boy heard the crew say
|
|
You¡¯re a secret charm
|
|
Come with us, you¡¯ll be a star
|
|
So off he went with the ship
|
|
Back to his native land which wasn¡¯t far
|
|
While rehearsin his act
|
|
He made the grandiose mistake
|
|
Of livin¡¯ with his long lost uncle
|
|
Could you blame him for wonderin¡¯ about a nephew
|
|
Who just couldn¡¯t seem to love?
|
|
But his song went on and on and on
|
|
And that¡¯s about all he had to say
|
|
His uncle did not realize
|
|
The wrong they did when they had his put away
|
|
*Repeat
|
|
