Lyrics
Someone once told me, ?There?s nothing funny ?bout the Blues.?
I said, ?Except for those Canary Yellow laces on your Blue Suede Shoes.?
He said, ?Hey man,? he said, ?That?s pretty rich.?
I said, ?the next one is a son-of-a-bitch!?
I?M SORRY IF YOU TOOK ME FOR SERIOUS!
I CAN'T HELP IT IF I LAUGH TIL I'M DELIRIOUS!
?CAUSE I?M A FUNNY GUY.
I?m pretty quick with a snappy remark.
And once in a while, man, I?ll knock one outta the park.
I?ve made ?em cry, Lord, I?ve made ?em choke.
I?ve had to stop before someone has a stroke.
I?M SORRY IF YOU TOOK ME FOR SERIOUS!
I CAN'T HELP IT IF I LAUGH TIL I'M DELIRIOUS!
?CAUSE I?M A FUNNY GUY.
I gots ta laugh about the life I lead.
I know it seems like nothin? matters to me.
But if I don?t joke about the holes in the sky-
I SWEAR TA? GOD I?M GONNA? BREAK DOWN AND CRY!
I?M SORRY IF YOU TOOK ME FOR SERIOUS!
I CAN?T HELP IT IF I LAUGH ?TIL I?M DELIRIOUS!
?CAUSE I?M A FUNNY GUY.
Oh, I?m a funny guy.
Yes, I?m a funny guy.
Just like a face and a pie.
Or a spinning bow tie.
