Two naked souls in...?
Cracking up jokes and looking at me
When father came round laughing and looking at me
He said, tell me son, what's so funny

Chorus:
Life's a joke not a tragedy
I get the joke and the jokes on me
Alone in the world won't no way to be
Can't live your life so seriously

When all they want to do is work
Move to the big city and act like a jerk
Ain't no time to hang around
In 22 years you'll be underground

Life's a joke not a tragedy
I get the joke and the jokes on me
Alone in the world won't no way to be
Can't spend your life so seriously

Now search down broken down...
I got the …
We all got the
…
Life's a joke not a tragedy
I get the joke and the jokes on me
Alone in the world won't no way to be
Can't take your life so seriously
