A Comedian Is Someone Who Tells Jokes Lyrics

I spend my days. shaking hands
Forgetting names. recycling cans: a comedian
There's trouble in our nation's capitol
My blues are black, my belly's full
A comedian is someone who tells jokes
It's lunchtime fix a pal a drink
It's nap-time paint the casket pink
Gut thee from me all half-wit-dim-wit souls
Happy Hanukkah. Ho-ho-ho
A comedian is someone who tells jokes
A comedian is someone who tells jokes
It's lunchtime fix a pal a drink
It's nap-time paint the casket pink
I wrote a check to save a whale
And like I said it's in the mail
A comedian is someone who tells jokes

This is a great song, Though not known through sight alone, the last line is enough to galvanize it's place in my heart.

I think this song is about politicians. A comedian is someone who tells jokes, and it's sad that politicians are now the people we laugh at.

My Interpretation

It's like they tried to write a song that has a real meaning to it, but then they realized that was hard. So we got this.

My Interpretation

um, not really.

Well then please, enlighten me on what this means to you. Because to me, it's just a bunch of sentences half-wittily thrown together.

Who are "they?" The Cass McCombs?

Incidentally, things aren't meaningless just because you don't understand them.

Sounds like he's an alcoholic.
