Ain't Nothin' Funny Anymore

[Verse 1] 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 say old Elmer Fudd can no longer have his gun And they're goin' after poor ol' Pepé Le Pew They're making it quite clear that trying to have fun Will no doubt have 'em comin' after you [Chorus] Ain't nothin' 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 get happy, they get mad Ain't nothin' funny anymore [Verse 2] Too many people got too many problems With every little thing 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 The coyote unpacks an Acme rocket, yeah And it misfires and blows him up again, but [Chorus] Ain't nothin' 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 get happy, they get mad And there ain't nothin' funny anymore [Verse 3] 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 that we used to laugh before I still smile when I think about 'em But ain't nothin' funny anymore [Refrain] You know, I still smile when I think about 'em But ain't nothin' funny anymore, nah [Outro] I bet you're wondering what I'm smiling about Well, maybe the joke is on Y-O-U
