Happy Birthday Howie Mandel A comic named Howie Mandel Goes on stage to regale for a spell In his comedy show He’s a seasoned old pro Like Madonna or Patti Labelle . He was born in Toronto this day Where the Leafs and the Argonauts play And the Mayor smoked crack At the drop of a hat Which was known from BC to Gaspé . Howie worked in the carpeting trade After high school, and wasn’t well paid But his primary goal In his heart and his soul Was to make people laugh and get laid . So he started a stand-up career In clubs that served whiskey and beer And his legend began Much like Ollie and Stan Who caused millions to smile ear to ear . The Comedy Store in L.A. Invited young Howie to play So he split for the coast Where he soon was the toast Of the town near Marina Del Rey . Howie thrived on the Hollywood scene Where he honed his outlandish routine He was living his dreams With his props and his screams Making fun that was silly and clean . Pretty soon there were acting gigs too And a pretty good job he would do On St. Elsewhere he shone Other offers would spawn From the glowing reviews that he drew . So now it’s the day of the birth Of a man who was put on this Earth To amuse and regale Which he’s done without fail Filling millions with gladness and mirth
