Chuckles Are Still Free

As far as I know, chuckles are still free Scream like a banshee and you will soon see Your mood will change immediately If you let your silly notions flow free You might even start a happy new trend Each broken heart will be on the mend Grey skies will turn blue whenever you send Joy and silliness to all of your friends They'll hug and kiss you and love you forever Helping 'em giggle bringing them pleasure A quality that just about everyone treasures Send them a big extra dose for good measure Yup, chuckles are still free just like the air So cackle, chortle and snort without care Everyone will soon be dancing with flair Doing the samba with flowers in their hair As far as I know, chuckles are still free So here's the scoop, between you and me It's all a matter of choice, you'll agree Get down and boogie with abandoned glee! © Jack Ellison 2012
