Bad captains sail sinking boats
Strange farmers own left handed goats
But what is it we truly see?
The laughter inside you and me.
Creepy elevator guys
Stuffing bushes in shirts
Writing on your mother's face
To cover up her warts =|
You never know the happiness
Deep inside of you
Until you see a streaking lady
Wearing high healed shoes
But that's just when you have to laugh
And come to realize
You can't laugh at what you expect
Laugh at only the surprise
Lazy people sit at the computer all day long
Writing all of these poems and these songs
But at least this is something that we could love
Instead of setting off fireworks lighting with the stove
But the fact is, we all must laugh
At the smallest things
Even if nothing's funny
Laugh when the phone rings
When the other line hears laugher
They can't help but smile
Then the laughter continues always
Unless you're cleaning bathroom tiles...
