JOKE OUTFIT

She went out in a joke outfit, took the show on the road
It was fun, it was side splitting, it got gracelessly old
The flimsiest cloth that she called hope, you knew it would fade
That’s the life of a joke outfit, that’s the way it was made
She fell out of her joke outfit when things went down as they will
Like a man of the cloth you were only there for the thrill
She put all her hopes in one machine and you made it spin
Left her lookin’ at new wrinkles, never stylish again
She put all her hope in one machine and you made it spin
And when you can’t find anything bad to feel she’ll come to mind
She stepped out of her joke outfit, let it fall to the chair
When she had you in no stitches, most of you wasn’t there
The flimsiest cloth that she called hope, you knew it would fade
It was labeled a joke outfit, that’s not how it was made.
