Laugh Man

Did you ever hear the one about...?
Oh god, I love myself
When I've got it on
I know I'll live forever, babe
All my fears are gone
Then suddenly I'm dyin'
They turn the laugh track off
I'm drownin' in the silence
Crucified by coughs
Oh I am the laugh man
Half clown and half man
Mister can't you see?
I'm supposed to leave you laughin'
Why don't you laugh at me?
I started out by starvin'
Desperate for money
My belly crackin' dirty jokes
That didn't come out funny
My neck stuck out so far
Like a gawky giraffe
Screamin' on a guillotine
Come on sucker, laugh
Oh I am the laugh man
Half clown and half man
Half out and half in
Mister can't you see?
I'm supposed to leave to laughin'
So why don't you laugh at me?
Oh I am the guy who always
Catches the pie
I specialize in
Pratfalls
I am the goon
Who flashes the moon
A mouse in a house of
Catcalls
I'm your jester, your juggler
Your joker, your friend
I'm nothin' more or less
Than a horse's nether end
My ego is a bubble
That I realize just broke
And alone without a microphone
My real life's a joke
Oh I am the laugh man
Half clown and half man
Half out and half in
Mister can't you see?
I'm supposed to leave you laughin'
So why don't you laugh at me?
Oh I'm supposed to leave you laughing
So why don't you laugh at me?
Did you ever hear the one about...?
