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
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

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.
um, not really.
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.

It's almost like you tried to post a comment with something real to say, but then realized that was hard...I have no "answer" for the lyrics but I do have a little first hand experience with Cass and the folks he was aligned with to put out this album. From what I could tell at the time, he was really not the schmoozy type of guy, not comfortable trying to impress people he'll never really get to know, all the stuff that goes along with with trying to help your record label get your music to the masses.

The song just reminds me of the type of situations Cass would be in meeting a lot of new press, PR, club bookers, wide eyed interns, etc. But that's just my impression, I could be wrong
Sounds like he's an alcoholic.
