Canned Laughter - Graham Parker

Canned laughter

Rings in my ears the morning after

Canned laughter

Would cans save a big disaster

Spreads around the room like a tumor

I'm not exactly in good humor

I wish it came just one joke sooner

Then I'd have to laugh

Canned laughter

I can't crack up and I don't have to

Canned laughter

I'm not too canned to fall in after

Can't disguise the actual gloom

But you can't do nothing but consume

Until there isn't any room for

Anything worthwhile

Canned laughter

Canned laughter

Canned laughter

Canned laughter

Rings in my ears the morning after

Canned laughter

I hang on the morning after

Can't disguise the way you feel

You see the razor blade and the reel

It don't do nothing to conceal

That you're not having fun

Canned laughter

Rings in my ears the morning after

Canned laughter

Don't laugh baby you don't have to

I can do without the rumor

I'm not exactly in good humor

I wish she can just wonder a tumor

Growing in my heart

Canned laughter

Canned laughter

Canned laughter
