Strum
D-DU-UDU
My  show is a little bit silly  and a little  bit pretentious
 Like Shakespeare's  willy or Noam  Chomsky  wearing a strap on,
 It's also  a little bit gay and  a little offensive,
 Like Thanksgiving  Day or Noam  Chomsky wearing  a strap on,
 So put your cell phones  to vibrate,
 And put your vibrators  to cell phone mode,
Welcome  to the show it goes a little  bit like this,
 JOKE... (laugh)...  exactly.
Welcome  to my flow it flows a little  bit like this,
 With a rap a  dist and a,
Swift  rap on the wrist a  wrap and a kiss,
Like  Hershey's wrapping a kiss shit.
I  got a show that'll test ya kids,
 Then ask one  question and the question is,
 What's funny?  What's funny? What's funny? What's funny?
 What's funny? What's funny? What's funny? Funny? F-funny?
 Oh, Humor  is often linked to shared  experience,
 Like a guy  gets up and says,
 "have you noticed  that public restrooms have really inefficient hand  dryers,
 Oh my god, yes  I have, HA HA  HA,
 Really good point, they  should fix that,
 Its good  to know that somebody finally  gets me,
 because my wife divorced  me which Sub-Consciously forced me,
 to lose  all sense of self.
 So its nice  to think about hand dryers  and not that cheating whore,
 Because stand  up comedy is actually pretty easy,
 If you're an asian  comic just get up and say,
 "My mothers got the weirdest fucking  accent"
 then just do, a  chinese accent, because  everybody laughs at the chinese accent,
 Because they privately  thought that your people were laughable,
 And now you've given them  the chance to express that in public,
 If you're a musical  comic, just give 'em a little  weird voice inflection
 
 Then take a Viagra and slap 'em with a rock hard misdirection
 What's funny?  What's funny? What's funny? What's funny?
 What's funny? What's funny? What's funny? Funny? F-funny?
 TOURETTE'S!
 What's funny?  What's funny? What's funny? What's funny?
 What's funny? What's funny? What's funny? Funny? F-funny?  And the audience says
 When I was a baby, maybe  I laughed at people  jiggling keys,
 Now I'm older  and bolder,
 And just get mad 'cause  i notice that the keys are to a Hummer,
 Fuck my life I  don't fuck my wife,
 so fuck my wife and  fuck my life,
 and my son is gay, but  not sitcom gay,
 My daughter's a whore like  another girl who used to be her mother,
 But the marriage  made her miss merry americana,
I  want a teen without screaming  prima-donna,
 But the radical  feminists made my wife  a man,
 And if I die  happy the situation will  be autoerotic asphyxiation,
I  hate my life and  it hates me back,
 and my friend is black,
 but I don't  know what to call him, so I  just call him...
"Yo  whatup Jamaal?",
 Even though his name is Steve,
 I Hate  my job I hate my life, hate my kids  I hate my wife,
Jews  would know I do it; Judas beat me  to it,
I'm  slowly slipping into a solipsistic  coma,
 A
 And I masturbate because I'm the only one who's standards are low enough to fuck me....
 .....
 What's funny?  What's funny? What's funny? What's funny?
 What's funny? What's funny? What's funny? Funny? F-funny?
 *pop* It's a boy!
 What's funny?  What's funny? What's funny? What's funny?
 What's funny? What's funny? What's funny? Funny? F-funny?
 Hopefully this
