This song was a finalist for Best Children's Song of the year, Just Plain Folks, 2004.

Chorus:
Have you ever had the giggles, the gootcha gotcha giggles,
When you couldn’t stop no matter what you did?
Have you ever had the giggles, the gootcha gotcha giggles,
When suddenly everything is funny?

Some folks will laugh in most peculiar ways.
Snicker, cluck and chuckle or snort (snort, snort).
But whether you bah-hah or whether you tee-hee,
It’s something I highly recommend.

They can begin with a smirk or grin.
They can make you silly with a friend.
Other times they’ll sneak up
When you don’t suspect a thing.
They can leave you hooting, hollering!

My mother’s laugh will always crack me up.
We call it the “Schmedley,” like the dog.
It’s hard to describe it so she’ll have to demonstrate.
Mother, dear, would you laugh just once more? (Schmedley laugh)
