Jokes in the Attic

Intro

Heh-heh, hey! (uh-huh)

La-la-la, la-la-la, la (oh-oh)

Verse

I had a pet rock that learned to play the drums (boom-boom)

It left a note that said "I'm joining the band, good luck, chums"

My rubber duck was mayor for a week (quack-quack)

Resigned when everyone found out it could only speak in squeaks

I planted my homework in a flowerpot (shh, shh)

Now the grade reports think it's a carrot, not a plot

My sandwich got a passport, said it needed a break (plop)

Ran off with the mayo — now that's a lunch I can't remake

Chorus

Jokes in the attic, jokes under the bed (ha-ha)

Jokes with a bandage and a tiny papier-mâché head (la-la)

We sing the silly stinger, we giggle at the punchline (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Don't worry, little laugh, you're perfectly fine (you're fine)

Jokes in the attic, jokes under the bed (ha-ha)

Tell it again, tell it again — as if the clown never fled (la-la)

We clap for the bad jokes, we cheer for the lame (yay)

Come on, say it with me: knock-knock, who's tame? (who's tame?)

Verse

I told a ghost a knock-knock joke — it tapped twice (knock, knock)

It left a Yelp review: "Would haunt again, but not tonight"

My homework got eaten by a dinosaur who liked math (rawr)

He left a note: "Sorry — here are some numbers and a giraffe"

The moon borrowed my mittens, came back a little cold (brr)

Said it tried to be a cloud but tripped on a streetlight pole

My socks hold a union, they voted to retire (folded)

Now they knit tiny scarves and sell them down by the choir

Pre-chorus

Oh-oh, life is a punchline with a bandage on its nose (oh-oh)

We patch up the giggles when the silly wind blows (uh-huh)

Chorus

Jokes in the attic, jokes under the bed (ha-ha)

Jokes with a bandage and a tiny papier-mâché head (la-la)

We sing the silly stinger, we giggle at the punchline (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Don't worry, little laugh, you're perfectly fine (you're fine)

Jokes in the attic, jokes under the bed (ha-ha)

Tell it again, tell it again — as if the clown never fled (la-la)

We clap for the bad jokes, we cheer for the lame (yay)

Come on, say it with me: knock-knock, who's tame? (who's tame?)

Bridge

Once I hid my shadow in a cookie jar (shh)

It left crumbs and a poem and a tiny scar

We hugged the broken punchline like a band-aid on a song (mend)

Sang la-la-lullaby until the wrong felt right and the right felt wrong

Chorus

Jokes in the attic, jokes under the bed (ha-ha)

Jokes with a bandage and a tiny papier-mâché head (la-la)

We sing the silly stinger, we giggle at the punchline (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Don't worry, little laugh, you're perfectly fine (you're fine)

Jokes in the attic, jokes under the bed (ha-ha)

Tell it again, tell it again — as if the clown never fled (la-la)

We clap for the bad jokes, we cheer for the lame (yay)

Come on, say it with me: knock-knock, who's tame? (who's tame?)

Outro

La-la-la, la-la-la (ha!), la-la-la...
