Twenty nine found dead in the bath
That weren't what wife was after
Pushed the joke too far
Into the here and after
I know you can hear
That's no sense of humour
Twenty nine

Was it really the only way to see
it through to the last laugh

Thirty three found dead in a car
Went out and bought the car
Pushed the joke too far
Into the here and after
I know you can hear
That's no sense of humour

Was it really the only way to see
it through to the last laugh

You pushed too hard, you pushed too far
The punchline was lost on you
No need to wait
no need to try to even see it through

Twenty nine found dead in the bath (what's the punchline?)
Thirty three found dead in a car (what's the punchline?)

Was it really the only way to see
it through to the last laugh
