so

[Music]

deep in the jungle in a picturesque spot

lived a pack of hyenas who laughed quite

a lot

they laughed through the morning and all

afternoon

at breakfast and supper and by light of

the moon

but one of their number young earnest by

name was a little bit different

he was not quite the same for ernest

was serious as brave as could be

laughing he said no that just

isn't me his mom was quite worried

his father was too he said

try it once come on son please do

ernest just shrugged on the serious yawn

and said nothing's amused me since the

day i was born

news of this very grave the state of

affairs

reached the king of the jungle whose

name was car stairs

he visited earnest that very same day

and said ernest please laugh

it's a hyena's way

car stairs came prepared he said close

your eyes

i'll soon make you laugh i've got a

surprise

then he put on a false beard with

glasses and nose

ernest opened his eyes saying sir what

are those

a large crowd had gathered to witness

the fun

car stairs addressed them what's to be

done

is there anyone here from hippos to

flies

who can make ernest laugh they'll be a

big prize

all the animals said what a smashing

idea and a python called pete

was the first volunteer he wriggled and

tied his long

body in nuts then he painted his face

with pink and blue spots the hyenas all

laughed and they chortled with glee

ernest just said that's not funny to me

some rhinos tried next they wore frilly

tutus

and danced on the tips of their pink

ballet shoe shoes

the hyenas laugh and they laugh some

more

earnest just grown saying

albert the elephant said give me a turn

i know of a trick which will tickle

young urn

he lifted his trunk and bent it around

then blew through it hard until it made

a rude

sound a warthog pulled faces as did a

giraffe

and a gnu said she knew what would make

ernest

laugh but she didn't succeed

and the zebra failed too so did the

hippo

and a lost kangaroo after hour upon

hour of rollicky fun carstairs admitted

it couldn't be done we just can't make

him giggle

the proud lion said no

i'm so tired i'll pop off to bed

as he made his way homewards he failed

to a spy

a yellow banana skin lying nearby

the animals gasped as he slipped on the

peel

and squealed a loud squeal tipping head

over heel

an amazing thing happened ernest giggled

and then said that's really quite funny

could you do it again albert is

snickered

the monkeys did too so did the hippo and

the lost kangaroo

the hyenas laughed and said well there's

a thing

in fact everyone laughed even car snares

the king

and no one laughed louder from lagos to

lima

then our little friend earnest the

laughing hyena
