Man Walks into a Bar Lyrics

A man walks into a bar
orders a beer and a bowl of peanuts
but the bar turns into a spaceship
and the bartender gives him a hair cut
i cant remember the end of that joke
you once told it to me when we smoked
on your fathers expensive cigars
all i remember is the part of a man walking into a bar

How many lovers does it take
to put a light bulb into a socket?
Why did Mona Lisa smile?
I have the answer written down in my pocket.
I just remember I laughed til i cried
because you told it with your funny voice
your southern dialect makes me rejoice
those special times we had
when love was just a silly gag

I know why Mona Lisa smiled
Da Vinci must have been a really funny guy
and laughter is the only way into my heart
I know why Mona Lisa smiled
Da Vinci must have been a really funny guy
and laughter is the only way into my heart
/]

Summer night on a gravel road
you told me about your childhood friend Veronica
who was claimed to have swallowed a toad
and i picked up my harmonica

I know why Mona Lisa smiled
Da Vinci must have been a really funny guy
and laughter is the only way into my heart
I know why Mona Lisa smiled
Da Vinci must have been a really funny guy
and laughter is the only way into my heart

A man walks into a bar
orders a scotch and a bottle of coke
but the laughter is gone in his heart
you never told me the end of the joke..
