Carol Burnett you always and forever have me laughing
whether kicking your heels or falling down, slap-stick gaffing.
I see your signal to your grandma, and feel I know you well
Some of your skits had a marvelously funny story to tell
In a few movies you played a mother, who had lost a child
Your dramatic roles showed me that you are not all wild
I can relate to you in many ways; you seem real and honest to me.
If there is another movie star more relatable, I am not sure who it could be.
Carol Burnett hosted a comedy show
And every week when it was time to go
A tug on her earlobe meant 'hi' to her grandmother.
Surely one earlobe is now longer than the other.
How about Carol wears the curtain rods?
That would be hysterical.
No one else got it.
But I am Harvey Korman and I have some say.
Most popular episode in history.
Even Vicky is not as popular unless she is mama.
Vicky as Carol's mama is hilarious.
This show gets better every second.
Then we grab up Tim Conway.
I have never laughed so hard in all my life.
He cracks me up totally.
And we are in front of a live audience!
My days on earth were the best.
Carol Burnett could fall down better than anyone
And get more laughs with just a glance than
All the rest of us put together.
Comedian Carol Burnett
had a variety show I'll never forget.
She gave us much laughter and cheer,
sometimes just by pulling her ear.
Oh, that Carol Burnett,
with eyes and expressions, you'll not forget,
tugging her left ear after each show,
saying "Grandma, I love you so".
History winking
On the black velvet water,
No voices are heard;
No wolves laughing in the woods,
Just stars on Deer Lake’s black skin.
