The song I`m going to sing to you,
Is sad and that ain`t half.
You`re not supposed to cry
Until I tell you when to laugh.
I knew a girl in Kansas,
Her name was Lucy Brown.
She tried to swim the river,
But she waterlogged and drowned.
Now laugh! Hahaha! Now laugh! Hahaha!
You`re not supposed to cry
Until I tell you when to laugh.
My brother climbed a quince tree
To pick himself a quince.
He ate the quince and puckered up,
And we aint seen brother since.
Now laugh! Hahaha! Now laugh! Hahaha!
You`re not supposed to cry
Until I tell you when to laugh.
An old man down in our town,
His name was uncle Seth,
He caught his neck in a well rope,
and he jumped himself to death!
Now laugh! Hahaha! Now laugh! Hahaha!
You`re not supposed to cry
Until I tell you when to laugh.
There are two silly sapheads,
Across the briny sea.
They think they`re going to mess us up in 1943.
Now laugh! Hahaha! Now laugh! Hahaha!
You`re not supposed to cry...
(Various laughter)
