So Why Did I Become a Comedian? Song Lyrics
So Why Did I Become a Comedian? by Sparks [Henry:]
Yes, why did I become a comedian?
To entertain some balding men?
To bring a touch of levity to tragic times?
Not me!
To bring some joy to those who have none?
To cast a skeptical eye toward common knowledge?
Uh-uh!
To make you notice what you've always surely noticed never noticing you notice until I ask you:
"Have you ever noticed?"
Sure—but not only that
To convey with a smile these deep-seated feelings of hatred and humiliation we all seem to be sharing?
