A Toast to the Boys
sung to the tune of "Puttin on the Ritz" written by Suzzette Sutton Have you heard the jolly news, From Harlem to Park Avenue 'Bout that very funny pair, Spreading laughter through the air. Bowler hats and frantic paces Happy crowds with smiling faces Spending every dime-- For a wonderful time! If you're blue and you don't know Where to go to, why don't you Where the laughs are grand Come see Ollie and Stan! One is thin as a rail; the other plump As a whale-- Come as fast as you can Come see Ollie and Stan! With James Finlayson and Charlie Hall And Mae Busch who's always The belle of the ball! You'll be enthralled! So, come with me and you will see How full of glee your life can be Glasses high as you can to Ollie and Stan! |
The Boys Who
Make Us Laugh Sung to the tune of "Strangers in the Night" Stan and Ollie dance And we applaud them Laughing at the chance To see such mayhem Ollie looks askance But Stan just grins and bows. They can make us smile With just a gesture Never mind the pile, The mess they've left us Hoping all the while No one will know the cause. Gentle souls adrift In ills they couldn't plan for Wondering what on earth Could crash them to such land fall Never saw their plight Always found delight Through the chaos that they left They never found themselves bereft And.... Since they are on film We watch them always Fat or very slim Sharp or in a deep haze They recharge our whim The Boys, who make us laugh |
