I love a blood-red steak
Baked potato thick with sour cream
I love my ice cream and cake
Seems like everything I love is bad for me

I don´t want no special treatment, don´t need no free pass
I just want in on the secret when the joker laughs

Ah ha ha ha ha

My buddy broke some bones
Open manhole put him in a cast
Suit lasted eight long years
Settled on the day he breathed his last

I don´t want no testimonial on my epitaph
I just want these words engraved "he made the joker laugh"

Ah ha ha ha ha

Every time I cross the street
I can hear him laughing
Every time I brush my teeth
I can hear him laughing
Every time I swat a fly
I can hear him laughing
Every time we kiss goodbye
I can hear him laughing
