Someone Has to Laugh

Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
Before the sky collapses on our heads
Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
To keep the sky from collapsing down on us
 
Our ancestors the Gauls
Blonde hair and [their] heads full of wood
Grand mustaches and big hobbyhorses
They never knew how to show refrain.
 
Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
Before the sky collapses on our heads
Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
To keep the sky from collapsing down on us
 
Our ancestors the Gauls
Lived in wooden huts
These druids packed in three-by-three
Under the mistletoe, they sang in full tone
 
Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
Before the sky collapses on our heads
Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
To keep the sky from collapsing down on us
 
Our ancestors the Gauls
They went in droves to Alesia 1
The barbarians were there
For the Gauls, they say, it was a disaster! 2
 
Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
Before the sky collapses on our heads
Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
To keep the sky from collapsing down on us
 
Our ancestors the Gauls
Invented tobacco
And it's because of this stuff
They fought for the pipes in their arms
 
Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
Before the sky collapses on our heads
Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
To keep the sky from collapsing down on us
 
Our ancestors the Gauls
Did something wrong to be a grandfather
But that's why we are here
And why the Gauls do the cha-cha
 
Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
Before the sky collapses on our heads
Someone has to laugh, oh someone has to laugh!
To keep the sky from collapsing down on us (x2)
 
  • 1. Probably a reference to the Battle of Alesia, which was a Gallic war between the Romans under Julius Caesar and Vercingetorix, the leader of the Gauls.
  • 2. Need help on this one too.
