[[Introduction in French]]

Because I got a fine sense of humour but she doesn't laugh at my jokes

I've got this fine sense of humour, yes, I'm full of glee
Even my first grade [['teacher' in French]] used to laugh at me
I've got a fine [['fine' in French]] sense of humour, got a full [['got a full' in French]] repertoire
I've tell her fine, fine jokes when we're in the boudoir [[the whole line in French]]

Because I got a fine sense of humour but she doesn't laugh at my jokes

Well I wake up great
My sense of humour really rates
I wake up hilarious
How come she's so serious

I'll telephone
I think I'll call up somebody important
Maybe Sigmund frood
And say hello hello
I'm a hilarious dude
Well, did something in her childhood maybe bum her real bad, now?
Cause like, I'm really really funny
And it's just making her mad now
[[Something in French]]

Because I got this fine sense of humour but she doesn't laugh at my jokes

If she's up there in the morning
Cooking her breakfast cereal

With my comic material
She's there frying up eggs and yolks
And I'm there trying ha ha jokes

I think I'll call up somebody intelligent [[whole line in French]]
Maybe Jean-Luc Godard,
And say, 'How come making her laugh is so hard?'
I think I'll call up somebody intelligent [[whole line in French]]

Lyrics

[??? Already at 7 am I'm already thinking up terrific jokes,
Why doesn't she laugh?
??? Me, I've got a great sense of humour
??? Don't go away, now this is a cheaper one,
??? Stratocaster, you can buy 10 of these,
Come on you guys ??? figure it out, oh loose connection,
What do you know? try it once]

Cause I got a fine sense of humour but she doesn't laugh at my jokes

I've got this fine sense of humour, yes, I'm full of glee
Even my first grade teacher used to laugh at me
I've got a great sense of humour, I got a full repertoire
I tell her fine, fine jokes when we're in the boudoir

Cause I got a fine sense of humour but she doesn't laugh at my jokes

[Now I've got this great sense of humour
But my wife she never laughs at my jokes
That's not right

Well, did something in her childhood bother her bad, now?
Yeah, cause like, I'm really really funny
And it's just making her mad now

Because I've got a fine sense of humour but she doesn't laugh at my jokes

Well when she's up there in the morning
Cooking breakfast cereal
