Lyrics/Music Leo Robin/Ralph Rainger



I'm not a king

But I've got more than a king

Because this whole world

Seems to be a comedy to me



I may be broke

But I take life as a joke

And if you want to

Make each day a holiday

Try my way



Look at the funny side

And have your fun

Stay by your honey's side

And laugh you son of a gun



It doesn't cost a thing

To buy the sun

You haven't lost a thing

So laugh you son of a gun



I don't mean a snigger

heh heh heh

I don't mean a giggle

hee hee hee

I don't mean a chuckle

No no no no

What I mean is ho ho ho ho



Look at the funny side

For when you're done

Its all a buggy ride

So laugh you son of a gun
