So Why Did You Become a Comedian?

OK, but why did you become a comedian?

For the money?

Oh no, no

Though I’ve come from poverty and severity

And now have reached big money and obscenity

So why did you become a comedian?

For the fame?

Oh no, no

Though fame is like a flame, glorious, superfluous

So nice being famous for being infamous

OK, but why did you become a comedian?

Fear of death?

Oh no, no

Cuz you see I have sympathy for the abyss.

A-B-Y-S-S!!! You illiterates!

That’s why I must never…

never cast my eyestowards the abyss

Lady, that’s quite an abyss you’ve got…

So why, why did you become a comedian?

For the women?

Oh no… well…

OK, let me explain.
