about

This tune was written the day after Robin Williams died. The song is essentially about the healing power of laughter and humor.... and about how it also often hides the pain we carry.

lyrics

Funny man walks with a limp with his hand on his hip
Tellin you a joke about growin up broke are you laughin now
He walks in the room with his hand on a broom
Sweepin up the dirt from a life of hurt are you laughin now
Mmmm are you laughin now

The Funny man strolls into town with his world burnin down
Tellin you a joke about the clouds of smoke are you laughin now
He lends you a hand from the small plot of land
Surrounded by the sea he thinks he’s sailin free are you laughin now
OOooh are laughin now

The funny man smiles with a grin with his world cavin in
He’s howlin at the moon and at the stars in June are you laughin now
He’s got nothing inside, nothing left of his pride
He’s given it away he ain’t here to stay are you laughin now
Oooh are you laughin now
