--I Started A Joke (1968)--

I started a joke

That started the whole world crying

But I didn't see

That the joke was on me

~

I started to cry

That started the whole world laughing

Oh, if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me

~

I looked at the sky

Running my hands over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

Hurting my head from things that I'd said

~

'Till I finally died

That started the whole world living

Oh, if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me

~

I looked at the sky

Running my hands over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

Hurting my head from things that I'd said

~

'Till I finally died

That started the whole world living

Oh, if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me...
