E B C#m A
I must admit I find it funny
E B C#m A
But I might have known she’d find it dumb
E B C#m A
The air hostess and the blow-up dummy
E B C#m A
I’m in stitches and she’s twiddling her thumbs
D Dsus4 D A
She hasn’t laughed once
[Play E B C#m A through twice]
E B C#m A
She thinks there’s something wrong with my sense of humour
E B C#m A
And I think there’s something wrong with hers
E B C#m A
Once upon a time she was easily amused
E B C#m A
But now I think that joke might be getting worse
D Dsus4 D A E E/F# A C D
It was funny at first

E A F#m B
I’m overjoyed when she understands
E A F#m B
I could make her chuckle if she gave me half a chance
E A F#m B
But the most she ever gives me is a second glance
E A B
She never gets a kick out of my punchlines
[Play E B C#m A through twice]
E B C#m A
I saw her smiling during Gilligan’s Island
E B C#m A
I suspect sarcastically
E B C#m A
Despite myself, I’m beside myself
E B C#m A
My sides are splitting but so is she
D Dsus4 D A E E/F# A C D
She’s laughing at me
E A F#m B
I’m overjoyed when she understands
E A F#m B
I could make her chuckle if she gave me half a chance
E A F#m B
But the most she ever gives me is a second glance
E A B
She only ever gets a kick out of my punchlines
