A Toast to the Boys
sung to the tune of “Puttin on the Ritz” written by Suzzette Sutton
Have you heard the jolly news,
From Harlem to Park Avenue
‘Bout that very funny pair,
Spreading laughter through the air.
Bowler hats and frantic paces
Happy crowds with smiling faces
Spending every dime–
For a wonderful time!
If you’re blue and you don’t know
Where to go to, why don’t you
Where the laughs are grand
Come see Ollie and Stan!
One is thin as a rail; the other plump
As a whale–
Come as fast as you can
Come see Ollie and Stan!
With James Finlayson and Charlie Hall
And Mae Busch who’s always
The belle of the ball!
You’ll be enthralled!
So, come with me and you will see
How full of glee your life can be
Glasses high as you can
to Ollie and Stan!
The Boys Who Make Us Laugh
Sung to the tune of “Strangers in the Night”
Stan and Ollie dance
And we applaud them
Laughing at the chance
To see such mayhem
Ollie looks askance
But Stan just grins and bows.
They can make us smile
With just a gesture
Never mind the pile,
The mess they’ve left us
Hoping all the while
No one will know the cause.
Gentle souls adrift
In ills they couldn’t plan for
Wondering what on earth
Could crash them to such land fall
Never saw their plight
Always found delight
Through the chaos that they left
They never found themselves bereft
And….
Since they are on film
We watch them always
Fat or very slim
Sharp or in a deep haze
They recharge our whim
The Boys, who make us laugh
