Behind the curtain
Lights way down low
Greasepaint can only hide so much
Keep 'em laughing
Though your heart is breaking
Keep ‘em laughing
Though they're all mistaken
Keep ‘em laughing as you go
A painted smile will one day show
That you're not laughing
So, keep ‘em laughing
You're never certain
Where’s the punchline
Restraint can only hide so much
Keep 'em laughing
Though your heart is breaking
Keep ‘em laughing
Though they're all mistaken
Keep ‘em laughing as you go
A painted smile will one day show
That you're not laughing
So, keep ‘em laughing
Turn up the corners of your mouth
Turn that frown upside down
Turn up the corners of your mouth
Turn that frown upside down
Turn up the corners of your mouth
Turn that frown upside down
Keep 'em laughing
All smiles, you’re hiding
Keep 'em laughing
Inside you’re dying
Keep 'em laughing
Though your heart is breaking
Keep ‘em laughing as you go
A painted smile will one day show
That you're not laughing
So, keep ‘em laughing
Keep ‘em laughing
So, keep ‘em laughing
