A Comedian Is Someone Who Tells Jokes Songtext
von Cass McCombs

I spend my days shaking hands
Forgetting names, recycling cans: a comedian

There′s trouble in our nation's capitol
My blues are black, my belly′s full
A comedian is someone who tells jokes


It's lunchtime fix a pal a drink
It's nap-time paint the casket pink

Gut thee from me all half-wit-dim-wit souls
Happy Hanukkah. Ho-ho-ho
A comedian is someone who tells jokes

I wrote a check to save a whale
And like I said it′s in the mail
A comedian is someone who tells jokes
