"Laugh" (written by The Tokens: Hank Medress, Phil and Mitchell Margo, and Jay Siegal) was Jeff Barry's attempt at cutting a humerous song for the second LP. Unfortunately, his effort wasn't much better than Boyce & Hart's.

Lyrics:

Ev'ry face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns,

And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.

Laugh,

'Cause the music is funny

Yeah, the bass sounds off-beat.

in't that neat.

Laugh,

When you lose all your money,

Or you can't find your shoes

To cover your feet.

It's not so hard to see exactly what I'm after.

Sometimes a tear should fall, but I require giggles and chuckles

Laugh,

When you're keepin' a secret

And it seems to be known

By the rest of the world.

Laugh,

When you go to a party,

And you can't tell the boys

From the girls.

Every face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns

And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.

Laugh,

At the things that are wrong.

If you thinks it's this song,

Then laugh.
