Funny Man Lyrics - Ray Stevens

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
