Everybody's Laughing

Many years ago at school I made myself look such a fool
 Everybody laughed (Everybody laughed)
 I said that I would marry her, that pretty girl in the lower year
 (Everybody laughed)
 She wondered what the fuss was all about
 And because she could not work it out
 I wrote a letter on a page
 And put it in her bag one day
 And a voice said
 Everybody's laughing because it's you I'm asking
 They don't feel that my chances are high
 They say that I don't have what it takes to make you love me
 All the same I just have to try
 Then it came, I had my chance to talk to her at the local dance
 Everybody laughed (Everybody laughed)
 'Cause all the local Romeo's were trying to put on a show for her eyes
 (Everybody laughed)
 She wondered what the fuss was all about
 And because she could not work it out
 I had to let know her there
 And so I whispered in her ear
 Everybody's laughing because it's you I'm asking
 They don't feel that my chances are high
 They say that I don't have what it takes to make you love me
 All the same I just have to try
 She said she'd already made up her mind
 To forget about all those old, old-fashioned seat abides
 But she waited 'till the laughter all subsides
 And tell that awful crowd that she'll be mine
 Well, everybody's laughing because it's you I'm asking
 They don't feel that my chances are high
 They say that I don't have what it takes to make you love me
 All the same I just have to try
 Paparooopapooopa...
 Everybody's laughing because it's you I'm asking
 They don't feel that my chances are high
 They say that I don't have what it takes to make you love me
 All the same I just have to try
 Everybody's laughing because it's you I'm asking
 They don't feel that my chances are high
 They say that I don't have what it takes to make you love me
 All the same I just have to try
 Everybody's laughing because it's you I'm asking
