Joke

D’you hear the one about
The one you’re now without?
Did it make you smile?
D’you hear the one about
The one you filled with doubt?
Was it worth your while?
The way you kick a life around
Deserving to be undergound
What is this?
Explain
Joke, is it some kind of joke?
Joke, I’m laughing, I’m laughing
I’m laughing
I’m laughing
D’you hear the one about
The one who fell from space
One minute in the stars
The next minute lying on their face?
She says I don’t know what to be
And does she look younger than me?
What is this?
Explain
Joke, is it some kind of joke?
Joke, I’m laughing, I’m laughing
I’m laughing
I’m laughing
For a tumble and something to do at night
You kick a life around, oh-oh-woh
For a fumble with someone you know at sight
D’you hear the one about the one you’re now without?
She says I don’t know what to be
And does she look younger than me?
And does my make-up look alright?
Can you tell that I’ve been up all night?
What is this?
Explain
Joke, is it some kind of joke?
Joke, I’m laughing, I’m laughing
What is this?
Explain
Joke, is it some kind of joke?
Joke, I’m laughing, I’m laughing
I’m laughing
I’m laughing
D’ya hear the one about the one you’re now without?
