Everybody's Got a Laughing Place

"Everybody's Got a Laughing Place" (also titled as "Everybody Has a Laughing Place") is a song from the 1946 Disney film Song of the South, sung by Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Bear. The song plays in the last Br'er Rabbit segment where Br'er Rabbit starts laughing and Br'er Fox attempted to eat him which reminds the former of looking for the "Laughing Place" as the two take Br'er Rabbit to the spot where it is supposed to be, only for Br'er Rabbit to fool Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear into a beehive, unleashing a swarm of bees to foil the two and chase them away, as Br'er Rabbit continues laughing happily that he found his "Laughing Place".
The song was also included in the videos Disney Sing Along Songs: I Love to Laugh! and Disney Sing Along Songs: Collection of All Time Favorites: The Early Years. It is also featured in the Splash Mountain attractions at various Disney Parks.

Br'er Rabbit: Hee, hee, hee, hee, ha, ha, ha!
Boy am I in luck!
I think about my laughin' place
Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk! Ha-yuk, yuk!
Everybody's got a laughin' place,
A laughin' place, to go ho-ho!
Take a frown, turn it upside-down
And you'll find yours I know ho-ho!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Boy am I in luck!
Br'er Bear: I think about that laughin' place,
Ha-yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk!

And you'll find yours I know ho-ho!

Everybody has a laughing place

An interface with the human race
Where great ideas can grow, ho-ho

We have got your dreaming place
Where every day's a rainbow chase
A place that's locked in memory
The Disney Channel is the key
We have got your glitter place
No theatre place to watch a show
Opening night by satellite
And each performance all aglow
So if you're looking for a laughing place
A learning place, a mystery place
A caring place, a sharing place
A growing place, a future place
If you're looking for a family place
The Disney Channel is your place!

Ho, ho, ho!
Boy am I in luck!
I think about my laughin' place,
And yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk yuk!
Jonah landed in the whale
He didn't call his Ma
He just sat down and looked around
And laughed and sang, "Tra-la-la-la-la"
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty fell
He said, "I'm broke, that's quite a joke"
And he began to yell, "Oh yell-oh"
Little Bo Peep lost all her sheep
She knew just what to do
She let them roam till they came home
And just because she knew, hoo, hoo
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater
Had the saddest wife
He put her in a pumpkin shell
And now she leads a happy life
Three little kittens lost their mittens
But they didn't cry
They sat alone and knit their own
And now they're eating apple pie-hi
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
A merry old soul was he
With his pipes and his bowls and his fiddlers three
He sang out merrily, hee, hee, hee
