Lyrics
- Isn't it fun to play jokes?
- Fool an old friend with a devilish hoax
- But it's better by half
- If it makes your friend laugh
- It's a laugh and a half!
- Maybe a pie in a face
- Get the gang rolling all over the place
- But if that pie covered guy
- Still can smile through the fly
- It's a laugh and a half!
- It's nice to think twice
- Before you douse your cat with paint
- You may think it's funny
- But the cat sure knows it ain't
- So when you are planning your tricks
- Thoughtfulness has to be part of the mix
- 'Cause when you are all through with whatever you do
- If everyone there is as happy as you
- It's a laugh and a half 'cause no one hates you
- It's a laugh and a half; no one berates you
- It's a laugh and a half; you'll let no beuses
- It's a laugh and a half so no one loses
- (Laughs) There's lots of grinning!
- (Laughs) New friends you're winning!
- (Laughs) No ink you're squirting!
- (Laughs) So no one's hurting!
- It's a laugh and a half
- And a half and a half and a half (Laughs)
