Punchline Lyrics
[Intro]
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 1]
It's a gift, I'm a perpetual optimist
Oh, I have to be to survive all of the trials and tribulations
I take my troubles, turn 'em into entertainment
And I wonder
[Pre-Chorus]
Was I a fucker in my past life?
'Cause karma's here and she's really tryin'
I try seeing the funny side
Lucky I'm good at comic timing
[Chorus]
I know, I know that I'll be alright
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
I know, I know if I don't laugh, I'll cry
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 2]
When life gives me lemons, I just plant another tree
Now I've got an orchard, I drink lemonade for free
'Cause when it gets difficult, I turn that shit satirical
'Cause what else would I do? I'd cry a swimming pool
[Pre-Chorus]
Was I a fucker in my past life?
'Cause karma's here and she's really tryin'
I try seeing the funny side
Lucky I'm good at comic timing
[Chorus]
I know, I know that I'll be alright
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
I know, I know if I don't laugh, I'll cry
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
[Bridge]
Knock, knock, who's there?
When life's unfair, I swear I'll keep on smilin'
Knock, knock, who's there?
When life's unfair, I'll see the silver lining
I know, I know that I'll be alright
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
[Chorus]
I know, I know that I'll be alright
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
I know, I know if I don't laugh, I'll cry
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
I know, I know that I'll be alright (Oh, I'll be alright)
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
I know, I know if I don't laugh, I'll cry
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
