[Verse] Oh Life’s a stage A grand charade With pain the sweetest serenade A tumble here A stumble there Adds spice to this mundane affair [Prechorus] A dash of tears A dollop of woes The merriest garden where misery grows [Chorus] Just a pinch of misery makes the laughter start to flow The woes of others You’ll discover Make your own joy glow When the world looks dreary Don’t be weary Let it show A pinch of misery makes the laughter start to flow [Verse 2] A pratfall in a crowded square A twisted foot stuck in a crack Their faces twist Their voices rise Oh Isn’t it a sweet surprise [Prechorus] A trickle of grief A torrent of sighs And suddenly joy is lighting your skies [Chorus] Just a pinch of misery makes the laughter start to flow The frowns and flails The epic fails Are all you need to know When the tears start streaming You’ll be gleaming Let it show A pinch of misery makes the laughter start to flow
