You love it when I make you smile, whenever I try to find a path.
Like tickling my belly, boy, it makes me want to laugh.
You're always reading your book, and I'm always coming in.
Our house is just a comedy show, and I'm just the comedian.

And I'll tell jokes for you, just like you want me to.
I'll do whatever it takes, just to be around.
I'll wear a bowtie for you, just so you can make me come in.
Cause our house is a comedy show, and I'm just the comedian.

Everyone likes to smile, but they toss tomatoes at me and frown,
And I'll bet when they see me cry, they think it's ups and downs.
Ah, but someday when it's over, and when they clap their hands again,
You can say it was one big comedy show, and I was just the comedian.

And I'll tell jokes for you, just like you want me to.
I'll do whatever it takes, just to be around.
I'll wear a bowtie for you, just so you can make me come in,
Cause you love the comedy, but you don't love the comedian.
