Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHII JJKKLL| Laughter sort o' settles breakfast better than digestive pills | A |
| Found it somehow in my travels cure for every sort of ills | A |

| An' I'm bilin' mad an' cussin' an' my temper's all ablaze | B |
| If the calf gets me to laughin' while they're teachin' him to feed | C |
| Pretty soon I'm feelin' better 'cause I've found the cure I need | C |
| - | |
| Like to start the day with laughter when I've had a peaceful night | D |
| An' can greet the sun all smilin' that day's goin' to be all right | D |
| But there's nothing goes to suit me when my system's full of bile | E |
| Even horses quit their pullin' when the driver doesn't smile | E |
| But they'll buckle to the traces when they hear a glad giddap | F |
| Just as though they like to labor for a cheerful kind o' chap | F |
| - | |
| Laughter keeps me strong an' healthy You can bet I'm all run down | G |
| Fit for doctor folks an' nurses when I cannot shake my frown | G |
| Found in farmin' laughter's useful good for sheep an' cows an' goats | H |
| When I've laughed my way through summer reap the biggest crop of oats | H |
| Laughter's good for any business leastwise so it seems to me | I |
| Never knew a smilin' feller but was busy as could be | I |

| Sometimes sit an' think about it ponderin' on the ways of life | J |
| Wonderin' why mortals gladly face the toil an care an' strife | J |
| Then I come to this conclusion take it now for what it's worth | K |
| It's the joy of laughter keeps us plodding on this stretch of earth | K |
| Men the fun o' life are seeking that's the reason for the calf | L |
| Spillin' mash upon his keeper men are hungry for a laugh | L |
