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.

Til I finally died, Which started the whole world living, Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.
