for Tony Bennett
I get my news from the funny papers, funny papers
call me fool
home from school
I don't care
if it keeps me from despair
you think sighing mends the earth
but from birth
I know trouble could
have us in stitches
out from the ditches
best artillery there ever is
oh gee whiz
now you hate what you should love
o my doves
laughing helps you get quite through
all you do
all that's done
under the sun or moon.
jubilation so defiant
helps you to be self reliant
sing your heart out
wake up in Heaven one day.
