Ray Stevens Funny Man Lyrics

Funny Man Lyrics

Look-a 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
