He makes it all up and for what
It's not like anyone told him to
Sometimes he kills, sometimes he bombs
Sometimes they hit him with a shoe
But he hangs around, this silly ol' clown
Nothing seems to keep him down
He gets on by with his sly charm
He flips over your ol' frown
No one can deny he's a funny kind of guy
Ha, ha, ho, ho
So why's he make you cry
This funny kind of guy
Boo-hoo
He works a crowd just like a pro
Just like a stand-up comedian
He busts you up, tears you apart
Right down the median
He is subtle, no easy jokes
Makes you work hard for a laugh
And when he dies he will be missed
They'll put "Funny" on his epitaph
Who's laughing now at this funny kind of guy
Who's laughing now when he makes you wanna cry
Who's laughing now at this funny, funny kind of guy
Sometimes he's on top, sometimes he's not
It all depends on the day of the week
But when he's good he's really good
You laugh so hard you can barely speak
He gets depressed but you'd never know
He puts it in the act
He's a master of subterfuge
Yes that's one cold, hard fact
