Funny Man Lyrics By Ray Stevens

    looka there there he goes
    ha there goes the funny man
    the life of the party that’s me

    and they’d never guess
    that i had a care
    they’d be amazed to see me cry
    when the party’s through
    cry over you

    talk loud funny man
    in the crowd funny man
    you’re in rare form today

    leave em’ laughing as you walk away yeah yeah
    but they wouldn’t laugh
    if they only knew that i’ll go home alone
    to cry cry the whole night through
    cry over you

    and who’s to know that this clever clown
    is really the fool of a town
    yes who’s to know the girl i loved
    laughed when she turned me down

    so tell a joke funny man
    be gay funny man
    don’t give yourself away funny man
    pretend you didn’t love her anyway

    act as though nothin’s wrong
    wear good smile to go alone
    then cry cry the whole night through
    ’cause there’s nothin’ you can do
