The Easy Giggle
Showing how the leading comedian may always get
a certain hand.
When the vein of comicalityIs voided of vitality, And all the silly little Tattle-tittle Has been done,There always is a visibleAssurance of the risible By dexterously using An amusing Little pun.
CHORUSYou can always get a laugh with that.Or by joshing any lady who is fat, When you sing the second stanza, Speak of Dressler or Friganza—You can always get a line with that,
The ways of being humorousAre not so very numerous; They’ll laugh until they’re crying When you’re guyingNew Rochelle;And nearly all humanityWill giggle at profanity— The whole entire gamut Clear from ‘‘——— —”Down to “———.”
CHORUSYou can always get a laugh with that—Never try to hit the crowd above the hat, If you want to get ’em shrieking, Imitate a lady speaking—You can always get a laugh with that.
