[00:00:34] And to hold

[00:00:35] And something more:

[00:00:36] It never is lost to fire or theft

[00:00:38] It's always around

[00:00:39] When trouble is gone the pleasure

[00:00:41] Is left I've always found

[00:00:42] It's burglar-proof same as the treasure

[00:00:44] Man lays up in heaven worth a

[00:00:45] Price no one can measure

[00:00:47] That says a lot

[00:00:48] So joy spring this fountain of pleasure

[00:00:52] That's deep inside you let me inform

[00:00:53] You in all truth

[00:00:54] Ponce de Leon sought this

[00:00:56] When he was searching for the fountain of youth

[00:00:58] Oh Ponce de Leon laughed so much he

[00:01:00] Never did find the magic fountain

[00:01:04] But many people with a well-adjusted

[00:01:05] Spirit they could hear it when you told

[00:01:07] Them it was there telling them was

[00:01:09] Like telling it on the mountain

[00:01:12] It's quite a life having the gift oflaughter

[00:01:14] I'm a man who knows in a minute

[00:01:16] I can tell you just exactly how the story goes

[00:01:20] It involves a firm conviction in another

[00:01:22] Previous life giving your mind a chance to fly

[00:01:25] Fly around the universe investigating other

[00:01:27] Galaxies certain other subtle

[00:01:28] Types of life trying dig it getting

[00:01:29] Pretty well-acquainted with a lot of

[00:01:30] Other strife an pretty much acquiring

[00:01:31] Yourself plenty of education

[00:01:33] Pretty soon here comes earth birth

[00:01:36] And then you're ready to put it all the work

[00:01:40] But soon as you're finished being born

[00:01:41] You start forgetting what you knew

[00:01:43] 'Cause you're another kinda you - a

[00:01:44] Reincarnation manifestation

[00:01:45] Of spirit in sensation

[00:01:48] You're really got that right

[00:01:50] The average person isn't bright

[00:01:52] Not so bright that they recall the fatal fall

[00:01:54] Down here this earth

[00:01:56] Their minds disguise their death to spirit

[00:01:57] Life and call it birth

[00:01:59] That's their reason for forgetting and they

[00:02:01] Find it very upsetting when reminded

[00:02:04] Tell them they've lived before

[00:02:05] They'll show you the nearest open door

[00:02:06] Gotta have feeling while dealing with

[00:02:07] Walkers in their sleep

[00:02:09] They can't imagine something as deep

[00:02:10] Here they come here they come there they are

[00:02:11] Unimaginative and ignorant of falling from a star

[00:02:13] Here they come there they are there they go

[00:02:14] Life is over in a minute an' they never dug

[00:02:16] It in it or enjoy a minute of it

[00:02:17] 'Cause they put too much above it

[00:02:18] That was gross

[00:02:18] Something that was worth a couple bucks

[00:02:19] At mos

[00:02:20] So there is the reason that the maker of man

[00:02:23] Included there in his plan

[00:02:25] A certain fountain deep with in

[00:02:27] Where there was laughter youth 'n gold

[00:02:28] For human beings that haven't hold

[00:02:30] Share the memory of where we've all been

[00:02:33] Brothers called Grimm knew chances were slim

[00:02:36] Anybody would dig that the human soul

[00:02:38] Was Snow White

[00:02:39] And the Seven Dwarfs were seven tempers in man

[00:02:42] Whose digging out the gold completes the plan

[00:02:44] An Bacon was hip that Shakespeare

[00:02:46] Couldn't read

[00:02:47] And so he gave him all the rhymes

[00:02:48] That have lasted through the years

[00:02:49] And kept eternal truths alive through

[00:02:51] Several centuries

[00:02:53] That's how we know them now

[00:02:55] They lasted cause they're true

[00:02:56] What was it from MacBeth

[00:02:58] Life's but a walking shadow a player poor

[00:03:00] That struts and frets upon the stage

[00:03:02] And seen no more

[00:03:03] A tale that truly has an idiotic ring

[00:03:06] That's full of lots of sound and fury

[00:03:08] Signifying nothing '

[00:03:11] That's right signifying nothing

[00:03:13] I'll repeat it Nothing

[00:03:14] Don't forget it - Nothing

[00:03:16] And that's the reason for that spring of joy

[00:03:18] That the Father put inside of every

[00:03:20] Single girl and boy

[00:05:04] Show time Everyone's on

[00:05:06] Let's hit the stage

[00:05:07] It's show time everyone an' proceed

[00:05:10] To act your age

[00:05:17] Whatever you're frowning at is funny

[00:05:18] Enough laughing

[00:05:18] So you're wasting all your humor on a frown

[00:05:21] While you're bringing your spirit down

[00:05:28] You gotta book yourself a comic in your act

[00:05:31] Without some laughter life's a maudlin

[00:05:33] Farce 'n that's a fact

[00:05:39] Once you know about the spring you always can smile

[00:05:42] It becomes your one expression

[00:05:43] And you're always wearing it like the

[00:05:45] Buddhas do
