if only you're happy
Just throw back your head
and go ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Laughing is easy
The best way to prove it
is try – is to try – is to try – is to try!
Solo:
Ask the wise man to tell you
and he will certainly say
the wisest man has a method
of laughing and laughing
his troubles away!
Chorus:
Laughing is easy
the easiest thing
in this silly old world
full of weal and of woe.
The point to our story
is let yourself go – yourself go
yourself go!
And chase your troubles away!
You'll find they never stay!
Never never stay
never never stay
(Alternate voices to get staccato effect)
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
(Heavy piano chord)
HA!

In the summer of 1947, while collaborating with a close friend, Norman Kennelly (a fellow Brooklynite) on a comedy which we hoped would be the 1948 Journalism show, I decided to write my own musical which I called O PIONEER! Whether or not I thought it might be a second entry into the J. Show contest is impossible to recall. It wouldn't have mattered since I never finished it. The one remaining line of dialogue that comes to mind is from some old coot who chortles, "Slick as a peeled onion!"
I did write two rather nice songs for the show. The first one was to occur during a religious meeting. It had no verse.
