Review of Singin' in the Rain (1952) by Gordon T — 13 Jul 2011

The Most Wonderful Musical in History. Adorable and Endearing:

(that Irish actor I can't recall the name . . . O'Connell [?]).

"Make 'em Laugh".

Music by Nacio Herb Brown; lyrics by Arthur Freed.

Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.

Don't you know everyone wants to laugh.

My dad said, "Be an actor, my son,.

But be a comical one.".

They'll be standin' in lines.

For those old honky tonk monkeyshines.

Or you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite,.

And you charm the critics and have nothin' to eat.

Just slip on a banana peel, the world's at your feet.

Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.

Make 'em... Make 'em laugh.

Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?

My grandpa said, "Go out and tell 'em a joke,.

But give it plenty of hoke.".

Make 'em roar. Make 'em scream.

Take a fall, butt a wall, split a seam.

You start off by pretending you're a dancer with grace.

You wiggle 'till they're gigglin' all over the place.

And then you get a great big custard pie in the face.

Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.

Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.

Don't you... all the...

My dad...

They'll be standin' in lines.

For those old honky tonk monkeyshines.

...

Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.

Make 'em laugh.

Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN Lyrics.

Don Lockwood:

Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo.

Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo.

Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo.

Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo...

I'm singing in the rain.

Just singing in the rain.

What a glorious feelin'.

I'm happy again.

I'm laughing at clouds.

So dark up above.

The sun's in my heart.

And I'm ready for love.

Let the stormy clouds chase.

Everyone from the place.

Come on with the rain.

I've a smile on my face.

I walk down the lane.

With a happy refrain.

Just singin',.

Singin' in the rain.

Dancin' in the rain.

Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah.

Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah.

I'm happy again!

I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!

I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...

[ADDITIONAL VERSE].

Why am I smiling.

And why do I sing?

Why does September.

Seem sunny as spring?

Why do I get up.

Each morning and start?

Happy and head up.

With joy in my heart.

Why is each new task.

A trifle to do?

Because I am living.

A life full of you.
