Glee Cast - Make 'Em Laugh Lyrics






Though the world is so full of a number things,
I know we should all be as happy as
But are we?
No, definitely no, positively no.
Decidedly no. Mm mm.
Short people have long faces and
Long people have short faces.
Big people have little humor
And little people have no humor at all!
And in the words of that immortal God
Samuel J. Snodgrass, as he was about to be lead
To the guillotine:

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
(Ha ha!)
My dad said "Be an actor, my son
But be a comical one
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"

Now 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

Make 'em...
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
But 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
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh!

  1. r.... ....

    That was brilliant

  2. V.... ....

    Of course it was a fever dream

  3. F.... R....

    And that's when I fell in love with Mike Chang

  4. N.... S....

    I absolutely LOVE Mike's shoes!!!!

  5. S.... T....

    My favorite past scene they recreated

  6. D.... V....

    It's an amazing choreography

    1:20 I've seen this about 2000 times and I can't stop laughing

  8. D.... V....

    I really love this song!

  9. E.... E....

    The fact that Mr.Shue had a dream where he's dancing with Mike 😥

  10. N.... S....

    I can remember attempting to copy the dance from this scene in singing in the rain when I was eight or nine (I wasn't very good) I even walked on our piano!!!!

  11. M.... O....

    This is the result of too much vitamin D.

  12. N.... S....

    Loved this scene!!!!!

  13. F.... 3....

    Usually I like the glee-version of songs better, but in this case, they weren't even close to Donald O'Connor's performance! But it's still fantastic

  14. E.... M....

    So funny they are only 3 years apart, and Harry looks like 10 years younger than he really is.

  15. A.... M....

    Poor piano man

  16. A.... N....

    Pianist abuse

  17. A.... B....

    Mission accomplished. 😅😂😀😁😅😂👊👍

  18. O.... ....

    we did singing in the rain last year for our musical and we had a fake piano for this scene and the tech lead is this really short girl and she climbed inside the piano before it went out on stage and the actors couldn't keep their shit together

  19. l.... ....

    What the hell are regionals

  20. K.... R....

    Me dio risa cuando Mike quería pararse y se calló 😂😂😂😂😍

  21. A.... G....

    I think this is an underrated performance. I freaking love this <3

  22. S.... S....

    Not one can match Donald O’Connor

  23. k.... ....

    I bet they enjoyed doing the choreography. 🤣

  24. c.... ....

    They can't dance like donald but i prefer his voice

  25. G.... J....

    I like Donald O'Connor's version of this song better

  26. h.... ....

    They didn't even tap dance...

    h.... ....

    Well, in the original he doesn’t tap dance.

    h.... ....

    @Haven Hutchison The Singing In the Rain dance is the one that involves tap dancing.

  27. E.... 0....

    The set is almost exactly the same!

  28. C.... A....

    Can’t touch Donald O’Connor

    C.... A....

    That is a copy of à scène of signin' in the rain ! It is so sad beacause signin' in the rain is a classic !

    C.... A....

    @baloo what the fuck are you saying

  29. M.... G....

    The choreography in this is outstanding!

  30. S.... N....

    I wonder what Alec would comment on this...🤔😕
    😂😂😂
    ❤❤❤

  31. L.... I....

    why are they beating up Brad the Piano Player??? XD

    L.... I....

    Lianne Ilejay -Check out the original number from the movie "Singin' in the Rain." Then it should make sense.

  32. g.... ....

    These two should've danced together more often. This was fantastic.

  33. l.... ....

    Lol Love This Performance That's Magnus Bane Dancing He's Adorable😂

  34. A.... A....

    Matthew Morrison went to my high school

    A.... A....

    Ainsley Alberstein Was his hair always like that?

  35. S.... S....

    where is my jokes about lucky Magnus

  36. J.... T....

    Oh my god that was awesome😂😂👏🏻👏🏻

  37. o.... E....

    I love how artie is just casually sitting in the background the entire time

    o.... E....

    The whole Glee club is there, almost, because it was a scene -_-

    o.... E....

    Or some not most oof

    o.... E....

    I FORGOT IT WAS A DREAM

    o.... E....

    Well, he can't really stand.

  38. A.... ....

    I always wonder how many times they had to film this to get it right, especially the beginning!

    A.... ....

    If it was me I probably would've been laughing too much for the first couple of takes

    A.... ....

    Heather Morris said they did this for like 7 hours straight. And they did everything themselves

    A.... ....

    Then you should’ve seen the original

  39. D.... M....

    Love the dance!
