Laurel and Hardy - Jan & Dean

Laurel and Hardy where are you?

Stan and Ollie we love you

In a world grown complicated

It comes as quite a surprise

That a couple of simple people

Are still masters in our eyes

Many times you’ve seen them laughing

Spreading joy for all to see

Mister Laurel, Mister Hardy

I’ll tell you what they mean to me

Roller coasters on the rainbow

Running on like endless time

With Stan and Ollie in the front

And Maharishi back behind

Years have passed and they’re still here

With a smile that time can’t void

And laughter rings throughout the world

For their art preserved on celluloid

In a world filled with confusion

I just want to go back when

Life was filled with simple pleasures

Will they come again?

They were born to put the world on

Slapstick clowning fancy free

Mister Laurel, Mister Hardy

I’ll tell you what they mean to me

Roller coasters on the rainbow

Reaching far across the sky

Mister Laurel and Mister Hardy

Never really said goodbye

Many times I’ve seen them laughing

Many times they’ve made me cry

And I know they keep folks happy

In that laugh-in in the sky

— What are you trying to do?

Can’t you stay awake without getting into mischief?

— Well I can’t stay awake if I’ve got nothing to occupy my mind

— I'll give you something to occupy your mind
