They say don't trust them they're crazy
but maybe they're normal and we're insane
who decides what is sane?


all the frozen faces they ask me how they can be happy
and i just say. start with a smile


chorus: oh laugh is what we need
it heals you'll see. i don't lie, i don't lie, i don't lie

oh laugh is what we need
it heals you'll see, i don't lie, i don't lie oh


they ask me how do i get in a real good mood
i say start to laugh and leave the rest behind
it's all in your mind


oh when you're sad just eat some jelly
you have to tickle the universe at it's belly

until it smiles gently

chorus: oh laugh is what we need

it heals you'll see. i don't lie, i don't lie, i don't lie
oh laugh is what we need
it heals you'll see, i don't lie, i don't lie oh


chorus: oh i love to laugh
yeah it lifts me up, and i fly and i fly and i fly
