Top 10 Funny Songs for Seniors
Looking around the internet, you’ll be able to find plenty of lists of silly songs for kids. But where are the funny songs for seniors? We don’t lose our senses of humor as we age, and we can find lots to laugh in songs such as those in the list below:
10. Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off
– you say “to-MAY-to,” and I say “to-MAH-to.”
9. Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor On The Bedpost Overnight? – those questions that keep us up at night
8. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
– singing it is fun; trying to spell it – even better!
7. Too Fat Polka
– a ridiculous reason to refuse to dance
6. New Horizons in Music Appreciation – for the classical music lovers, a play-by-play commentary on Beethoven’s 5th Symphony by Peter Schikele
5. If You’ve Got The Money, I’ve Got The Time
– at least the singer is being honest.
4. Little Brown Jug
– each verse is funnier than the last
3. Your Feets Too Big
– Fats Waller’s classic song
2. It’s Hard To Be Humble
– “…when you’re perfect in every way”
1. Mairzy Doats
– I love this one, for the silly lyrics and the reactions it often brings in music making groups with older folks.

I love the list you created, Rachelle. The others added in comments are great, too.I’ll add: “Ma, He’s Making Eyes At Me”. It is humor month so I challenge everyone to keep the laughter going.
That’s a great song, too – one of my new favorites. We’ll be laughing all month!

“What Did Deleware?”
“(Would you like to) Swing on a Star”
“Yes, We Have No Bananas”
“Pistol Packin’ Mama”
Thanks for all your suggestions please keep them going I love it I’ve been playing in bands for years mainly as a musio banjo &guitar recently my wife & I have started a duo to entertain age care as I am young
age care but not care yet. I’m an average vocalist but can carry a tune I’ve got a spontaneous sense of humour. Which the seniors seem to enjoy I thought I could contribute to our duo singing some funny songs the seniors seem to respond to humour
Thanks for your suggestions please keep them coming
