Jonah

His name was Jonah Johnson
And plumbing was his skill
His house caught fire one awful night
And his family were killed
He thought he'd like to join them
And considered it awhile
But Jonah had a precious gift
His jokes made people smile
A workmate had confided
You make us laugh and cry
I know you've had your share of woe
But you're a funny guy
A friend had seen an advert
A small club in his town
So Jonah played the comedy store
And he brought the house down
His star grew bright as time went on
He really hit the heights
He headlined all the biggest clubs
His name was up in lights
He had a television show
On Fridays it was aired
And wrote an autobiography
In which his soul was bared
Now his comedy is legend
And his humour all the rage
But the truth is, every single night
He dies up on that stage
