A man walks into a bar
                            Amaj7
orders a beer and a bowl of peanuts
                         Dmaj7
but the bar turns into a spaceship
                              Fmaj7
and the bartender gives him a haircut
                                 Bbmaj7
I can’t remember the end of that joke
                               Fmaj7
you once told me to me when we smoked
                           Bbmaj7
on your father’s expensive cigars

all I remember is the part
                        Amaj7
of a man walking into a bar


How many lovers does it take
to put a light bulb into a socket
and why did Mona Lisa smile
I have the answer written down in my pocket
I just remember I laughed ‘til I cried
because you told it to me with your funny voice
your southern dialect makes me rejoice
these special times we had
when love was just a silly gag

I know why Mona Lisa smiled
Dmaj7
da Vinci must have been a really funny guy
 Amaj7                                 E E7
and laughter is the only way into my heart


Summer night on a gravel road
you told me ‘bout your childhood friend Veronica
who was claimed to have swallowed a toe
then I picked up my harmonica


I know why Mona Lisa smiled
da Vinci must have been a really funny guy
and laughter is the only way into my heart


A man walks into a bar
orders a scotch and a bottle of coke
but the laughter is gone in his heart
you never told me the end of the joke…
