A laugh a day keeps the apple away. A mixed metaphor.

When you’re feeling low and down in the dumps
And it’s cold outside and you’ve got goose bumps
Don’t get all fussy with a case of the grumps.
Get hold of the Good Humor Man — That’s me.

Good humor’s done wonders for ages and ages–
Makes clouds disappear when a thundestorm rages.
You can find me right there in the new Yellow Pages
Under G.  The Good Humor Man — that’s me.

I’ve always known what you need is some laughter
From down in the basement to up in the rafter.
It’ll make you feel better from here ever after.
Better call the Good Humor Man — that’s me.

Try it right now. Ha ha ha ha hee hee hee hee.
Whadya think?  Hee hee ha ha ha tee hee,see?
Again.  You’ll feel good.  Ha ha, tee hee hee hee tee hee.
Compliments from the Good Humor Man — that’s me.
