Louis Armstrong then offered to sing anything but "It's a Wonderful World" to them, which Homer then requests.

Later, Louis Armstrong reappears, this time as a ghost, in Lisa's bedroom. When Lisa asked him my a ghost was sweating, he said that he didn't know but he'd give anything for a new shirt. He then said that he also wanted to be alive again.[1]

Armstrong told Lisa that he's tired of appearing in Lisa's fantasies and told Lisa to get back to America. Armstrong then started to walk into Canada but was stopped by Abraham Lincoln who asked him what he was going over there for. Louis Armstrong then said he was going to get cannabis as it was made legal.[2]
