Ain’t Nothin’ Funny Anymore

Chuck Redden

[Verse 1]
You know, I sure do love to laugh
But if I did, someone would be offended
Like the self-righteous chosen few and self-anointed
Who claim to be the only ones who know what was intended
They say old Elmer Fudd can no longer have his gun
And they're goin' after poor ol' Pepé Le Pew
They're making it quite clear that trying to have fun
Will no doubt have 'em comin' after you

[Chorus]
Ain't nothin' funny anymore
I guess laughing's going out of style
There was a time a good joke would have you on the floor
Now you're in danger if you even smile
Laughter used to be the best medicine
But these days, it just makes some people sore
It's too bad, it's really sad, if you get happy, they get mad
Ain't 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 self-righteous 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]
Ain't nothin' funny anymore
I guess laughing's going out of style
There was a time a good joke would have you on the floor
Now you're in danger if you even smile
Laughter used to be the best medicine
But these days, it just makes some people sore
It's too bad, it's really sad, if you get happy, they get mad
And there ain't nothin' funny anymore

[Verse 3]
Bye-bye, 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 don't exist
And it's a shame 'cause they won't ever know the fun they missed
So here's 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 ain't nothin' funny anymore

[Refrain]
You know, I still smile when I think about 'em
But ain't nothin' funny anymore, nah

[Outro]
I bet you're wondering what I'm smiling about
Well, maybe the joke is on Y-O-U
