about

One essential connection between the players on this song is their sense of humor. This song was written as an hommage to that.

lyrics

We're back for unified laughter
we're living proof of childish fun
bring back some beautiful laughter
not a smiling face for everyone

some words are certified laughter
just need to twist and turn around
us nerds are certified laughter

ten times a bad one and five times are good

There's a flick in every notion
watch out for the chocolate on the road
no, we don't need any potion
always smiling, ready for a goad

some days it just doesn't happen
but we're not the ones for giving up
some thing we always believe in

ten times a bad one and five times are good
