Song Lyrics
Chi-town, Beantown
Every in between now
Lookin' for the Funniest People.
They got from Little Rock
Anywhere the bus stops
Lookin' for the Funniest People.
Lookin' for the Funniest....People!
Different shining (Woman: Ooo. Bop. Bop)
Short people tall people (Woman: Ooo. Bop. Bop)
Silly and bizzare people (Woman: Ooo. Bop. Bop)
Come on and be a star, people!
