A bringer of smiles, my charm beguiles
A playful soul, that's me
But deep inside, it's sad, I've cried
Plain for all to see
A raconteur, please listen sir, I hold court rather well
But it's all fake, I cannot take
The gloom in which I dwell
The jokes I say will make your day
Oh, that one was a peach!
The price I pay is what folk say
When I am out of reach
Thru blackest night I'll shine a light
But my soul's at war
So one fine day I'll go away
I won't be around no more
