A man walks into a bar

orders a beer and a bowl of peanuts

but the bar turns into a spaceship

and the bartender gives him a hair cut

i cant remember the end of that joke

you once told it to me when we smoked

on your fathers expensive cigars

all i remember is the part of a man walking into a bar



How many lovers does it take 

to put a light bulb into a socket?

Why did Mona Lisa smile?

I have the answer written down in my pocket.

I just remember I laughed til i cried 

because you told it with your funny voice

your southern dialect makes me rejoice

those special times we had 

when love was just a silly gag



I know why Mona Lisa smiled

Da Vinci must have been a really funny guy

and laughter is the only way into my heart

I know why Mona Lisa smiled

Da Vinci must have been a really funny guy

and laughter is the only way into my heart



Summer night on a gravel road

you told me about your childhood friend Veronica

who was claimed to have swallowed a toad

and i picked up my harmonica



I know why Mona Lisa smiled

Da Vinci must have been a really funny guy

and laughter is the only way into my heart

I know why Mona Lisa smiled

Da Vinci must have been a really funny guy

and laughter is the only way into my heart



A man walks into a bar

orders a scotch and a bottle of coke

but the laughter is gone in his heart

you never told me the end of the joke..
