[Verse 1] You know, I sure do love to laugh But if I did, someone would be offended Like the selfrighteous chosen few and selfanointed Who claim to be the only ones who know what was intended They say old Elmer Fudd can no longer have his gun And theyre goin after poor ol Pep Le Pew Theyre making it quite clear that trying to have fun Will no doubt have em comin after you [Chorus] Aint nothin funny anymore I guess laughings going out of style There was a time a good joke would have you on the floor Now youre in danger if you even smile Laughter used to be the best medicine But these days, it just makes some people sore Its too bad, its really sad, if you get happy, they get mad Aint nothin funny anymore [Verse 2] Too many people got too many problems With every little thing from A to Z I guess they never stopped to think that their selfrighteous attitude Is offensive to some folks like me The pastor asks for a moment of silence And while heads are bowed, a little kid breaks wind The coyote unpacks an Acme rocket, yeah And it misfires and blows him up again, but [Chorus] Aint nothin funny anymore I guess laughings going out of style There was a time a good joke would have you on the floor Now youre in danger if you even smile Laughter used to be the best medicine But these days, it just makes some people sore Its too bad, its really sad, if you get happy, they get mad And there aint nothin funny anymore [Verse 3] Byebye, Aunt Jemima, so long, Uncle Ben Yeah, those who claim to care want you gone with the wind There may come a time when history dont exist And its a shame cause they wont ever know the fun they missed So heres to the good times that are gone And the way that we used to laugh before I still smile when I think about em But aint nothin funny anymore [Refrain] You know, I still smile when I think about em But aint nothin funny anymore, nah [Outro] I bet youre wondering what Im smiling about Well, maybe the joke is on YOU
