Lots of Laughs

There are many different types of laughter
If I sing them to you now you might remember them after

You bite into some food that is really bitter
Your friend sees your face and he starts to titter

You notice that your teacher is a big nose picker
You know you shouldn't laugh but you start to snicker

A laugh that sounds like a bird is called a cackle
If it's loud enough, it will raise your hackles

The funniest thing that you ever saw
Is likely to cause you to guffaw

When you laugh real loud, that's called a chortle
We need to learn to laugh because we're mortal

There are many different types of laughter
If I sing them to you now you might remember them after

War and Peace

P A C and B E L
Are the Latin roots for peace and war
You can have one but you can't have both
Because when it comes to peace and war
It's a case of either/or

(We want P A C--PEACE)

Magellan sailed across an ocean
That was so peaceful he thought it was terrific
The ocean didn't have a name
So he called it the Pacific

I have a friend who will not fight
Fighting is a thing he does resist
He believes peace is the answer
He is called a pacifist

If you've got a shrieking baby
If that baby is a crier
You can calm him down and get some peace
By giving him a pacifier

(Give us B E L--WAR!)

I know something 'bout the Civil War
Do you think that I should tell 'em? [YEAH!]
The years before the Civil War
Are sometimes called the antebellum

A war against the government
Usually does not go well
Those who fight the government
Are called rebels, they rebel

Nations that fight one another
Can be called belligerents
They fight for peace but wind up dead
Or injured as a consequence
In this way, war does not make sense

P A C and B E L
Are the Latin roots for peace and war
You can have one but you can't have both
Because when it comes to peace and war
It's a case of either/or

In Other Words

My best friend is throwing a party
I can hardly wait for it to commence
I'm anticipating all the fun well have
Im thinking it will be immense

In other words it'll be great fun
I want the party to start and the waiting to be done

There's going to be some entertainment
Yeah, there's going to be refreshments there
We might get a little unruly
When the stereo starts to blare

In other words, well play our music loud
Well eat and drink and play games and be a wild crowd

Were going to have a party! Were going to have a party!
