Punchline

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

It's a gift, I'm a perpetual optimist
Oh, I have to be to survive
All of the trials and tribulations
I take my troubles, turn 'em into entertainment
And I wonder

Was I a fucker in my past life?
'Cause karma's here and she's really trying
I tried seeing the funny side
Lucky I'm good at comic timing

I know, I know that I'll be alright
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
I know, I know if I don't laugh, I'll cry
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la

Life gives me lemons, I just plant another tree
Now I've gotta nurture it, I drink lemonade for free
It's when it gets difficult, I turn that shit satirical
'Cause what else would I do? I'd cry a swimming pool

Was I a fucker in my past life?
'Cause karma's here and she's really trying
I tried seeing the funny side
Lucky I'm good at comic timing

I know, I know that I'll be alright
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
I know, I know if I don't laugh, I'll cry
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline

Knock, knock, who's there when life's unfair?
I swear I'll keep on smiling
Knock, knock, who's there when life's unfair?
I'll see the silver lining

I know, I know that I'll be alright
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
I know, I know if I don't laugh, I'll cry
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
I know, I know that I'll be alright (oh, I'll be alright)
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
I know, I know if I don't laugh, I'll cry
When life is a joke, I still got the punchline
