I started a joke
The minute I spoke
But I've got no punchline
A sarcastic approach
May be encroached
And not seen as fine
CHORUS:
But I'd rather get laughs
Than an ice cold shoulder
And I'd rather laugh at pebbles
Than move a boulder
The joke that I started
O, so carelessly
Might just turn around and suddenly
The joke's on me
Hey, the joke's on me
Hide the face of tragedy
Behind the mask of comedy
Hey, the joke's on me
All the things too sad to see
Seem like such a distant dream
Hey, the joke's on me
Hide the face of tragedy
Behind the mask of comedy
Hey, the joke's on me
All the things to sad to see
Seem like such a distant dream
CHORUS
I started an act
To help me attract
What I could not make mine
I started a joke
The minute I spoke
But I've got no punchline
