I started a joke Which started the whole world crying But I didn't see That the joke was on me, oo-ou-u, no-o.
I started to cry (Ah-ah-ah-) Which started the whole world laughing, (Ah-ah-ah-ah-) Oh, if I'd only seen (Ah-ah-ah-ah-) That the joke was on me.
A-a-I looked at the skies (Ah-ah-) Running my hands over my eyes, (Ah-ah-) And I fell out of bed Hurting my head from things that I'd said
Till I finally died Which started the whole world living, (Ah-ah-ah-ah-), Oh, if I'd only seen (Ah-ah-ah-ah-) That the joke was on me.
A-a-I looked at the skies (Ah-ah-) Running ma-a-ay hands over my eyes, (Ah-ah-) And I fell out of bed Hurting my head from things that I'd said
Till I finally died Which started the whole world living, Oh, if I'd only seen, ou-yeah, That the joke was on me, oh-oooo-ou-no-o, That the joke was on me-e-e-, oh-oh-oh-oh!
