The Lyrics
OS lyrics here. Midi here. =Pacing note: OS singer variably extends the last syllable of some lines into two or three syllables.
Was watching TV "late night news" last night
'Twas so depressing to see
Disasters, bombings, and a big gunfi- -ight
One crime upon another aired re...peatedly
Turned off the lights and went to sleep at last
Had nightmares all the night long
Some maniac was maiming sheep as fast
As I could count; instead I read a... silly song
Laugh, laugh, instead of cry
See things so funny to see
Laugh, laugh, soul purify
Of our world and its lunacy
Funny
Oh, so funny....
Look at the cable news, you're always groanin'
They show disasters galore
But laughter elevates your serotonin [1]
Much better than prescriptions from the... druggist's store
"Best medi-cine is laughter": proverb, old
Against your worries, rearm
When dealing with a heart attack or cold
"Primum non nocere": Laughter... couldn't harm [2]
Laugh, laugh, now don't be shy
To wriggle, giggle with glee
Laugh, laugh, I tell no lie
Just throw away your cares, "heh heh"!
Punny
Oh, so punny
Before I go I'd like to say one thing
Don't close your ears to me
Take my advice: if you'll start "LOL"-ing
Bet it really helps relieve your.... misery
You say you can't find any laughs at all
Log on right here and sing
We'll have you rolling on the floor, up wall,
Across the ceiling, reeling, feeling... like a king!
Laugh, laugh, on laugh, rely
Yeah, laugh so hard that you pee
Laugh, laugh, please give a try
How better does it feel to be...
...Sunny
Oh, so sunny
[1] "Serotonin": a neurotransmitter (brain chemical) associated with feelings of calm, peace, and happiness; elevated by sugar, alcohol, marijuana, prescription antidepressants, and laughter, among other things. (Laughter has fewer harmful side effects.)
[2] "Primum non nocere": "First, do no harm." A precept all doctors are taught in medical school, which some seem to forget upon graduating.

Another good one from the Turtle dude. Perfectly paced, with some excellent lines. 555

My you are prolific! Love the concept and really dig the informational links embedded in the song. primum non nocere indeed! 5's
Nice, 555. The midi also made it even more enjoyable.
I agree that laughter is the breast, and best medicine...and doesn't require a prescription, or co-pay. Good write
Take three fives and call me in the morning!!! I'm in total agreement with Rick C.
I'm baaaaaaaack, and giving some more 555's.
