Ain't Nothin' Funny Anymore

(アルバム： Ain't Nothin' Funny Anymore - 2021)

You know I sure do love to laugh
But if I did someone would be offended
Like the self righteous chosen few and self-anointed
Who claim to be the only ones who know what was intended
They said ole Elmer Fudd can no longer have his gun
And then went after poor ol' Pepé Le Pew
They're making it quite clear that trying to have fun
Will no doubt have 'em coming after you

Ain't nothing funny anymore
I guess laughing's going out of style
There was a time a good joke would have you on the floor
Now you're in danger if you even smile
Laughter used to be the best medicine
But these days it just makes some people sore
It's too bad, it's really sad
You get happy, they get mad
Ain't nothing funny anymore

Too many people got too many problems
With every little thing that from A to Z
I guess they never stopped to think that their self righteous attitude
Is offensive to some folks like me
The pastor asks for a moment of silence
And while heads are bowed a little kid breaks wind
A coyote unpacks an acme rocket
And it misfires and blows him up again

Ain't nothing funny anymore
I guess laughing's going out of style
There was a time a good joke would have you on the floor
Now you're in danger if you even smile
Laughter used to be the best medicine
But these days it just makes some people sore
It's too bad, it's really sad
If you act happy, they get mad
And there ain't nothing funny anymore

Bye bye Aunt Jemima, so long Uncle Ben
Yeah, those who claim to care want you gone with the wind
There may come a time when history don't exist
And it's a shame 'cause they won't ever know the fun they missed
So here's to the good times that are gone
And the way we used to laugh before
I still smile when I think about 'em
But ain't nothing funny anymore

You know that I still smile when I think about 'em
But ain't nothing funny anymore

Naw
I bet you're wondering what I'm smiling about
Well maybe the joke is on Y.O.U.
