Harry Chapin - Laugh Man Lyrics
Did you ever hear the one about...Oh, God I love myselfWhen i've got it oni know I'll live forever babeAll my fears are goneThen suddenly I'm dyingThey turned the laugh track offI'm drowning in the silenceCrucified by coughsOh, I am the laugh manHalf clown and half manHalf out and half in, oh mister can't you see?I'm s'posed to leave you laughing, so why don't you laugh at me?I started out my starvin'Desperate for moneyMy belly crackin' dirty jokesThat did not come out funnyMy neck stuck out so farLike a gawky giraffeScreamin' on a guillotine"Come on, sucker, laugh!"I am the guy who always catches the pieI specialize in pratfallsI am the goon who flashes the moonA mouse in a house of catcallsI'm your jester your jugglerYour joker your friendI'm nothing more or lessThan a horse's nether end!My ego is a bubbleThat I realize just brokeAnd alone without a microphoneMy real life's a jokeDid you ever hear the one about...
