A comedian is someone who tells jokes

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
