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 can't remember the end of that joke You once told it to me when we smoked On your father's 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? And why did Mona Lisa smile? I have the answer written down in my pocket I just remember I laughed 'till 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 smile Da Vinci must have been a really funny guy And laughter is the only way into my heart I know why Mona Lisa smile 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 smile Da Vinci must have been a really funny guy And laughter is the only way into my heart I know why Mona Lisa smile 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
