Matt Walker - The Joke Is on Me Lyrics

She said I act too much like Groucho
Anything for a laugh or a smile
And now I just lie on the couch all day
And she hasn't laughed for quite a while

She said the time for jokin' is over
She said that it's time for her to leave
I thought the jokes were what she liked most
But it looks like the joke is on me

This time the joke is on me
It's curtains for my comedy
I'm the butt of the joke, I can see
No straight lines gonna save me this time
This time the joke is on me

Her friends all said she looked pretty
In her new dress she got on sale at the mall
When I said, Yeah, she got it for a ridiculous figure
She didn't think that was funny at all

She didn't believe I was just kidding
When I would say, "Take my wife, pleease"
'Cause somebody did, and now I'm sitting, alone
This time the joke is on me

This time the joke is on me
I'm the butt of the joke, I can see
No straight lines gonna save me this time
This time the joke is on me
