I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
but I didn’t see that the joke was on me, oh no.
I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said.
‘Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said.
‘Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was one me.
[’I Started A Joke’ lyrics and music by The Bee Gees]
