<P> `` I Love to Laugh '' , also called `` We Love to Laugh '' , is a song from Walt Disney 's film Mary Poppins . It was composed by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman . The song is sung in the film by `` Uncle Albert '' ( Ed Wynn ) , and `` Bert '' ( Dick Van Dyke ) as they levitate uncontrollably toward the ceiling , eventually joined by Mary Poppins ( Julie Andrews ) herself . The premise of the scene , that laughter and happiness cause Uncle Albert ( and like - minded visitors ) to float into the air , can be seen as a metaphor for the way laughter can `` lighten '' a mood . ( Compare Peter Pan 's flight power , which is also powered by happy thoughts . ) Conversely , thinking of something sad literally brings Albert and his visitors `` down to earth '' again . The song states a case strongly in favor of laughter , even if Mary Poppins appears to disapprove of Uncle Albert 's behavior , especially since it not only complicates the task of getting Albert down , but the infectious mood sends Bert and the Banks children into the air as well . </P>
