Chi-town, Bean-town
Every in between-town
Lookin' for the Funniest People.
They got from Little Rock
Anywhere the bus stops
Lookin' for the Funniest People.
Lookin' for the Funniest…People!
Big grin shining (Woman: Lookin' for the funniest....)
Short people, tall people (Woman: Lookin' for the funniest....)
Silly and bizarre people (Woman: Lookin' for the funniest....)
Come on and be a star, people!
