The Lyrics

Ooh, At first I wondered how you knew
The punchline to the joke I just told you
Cos some other guy had told it before.
Between the two of us guys
You said he told it better.
It took me by surprise I must say,
When I googled it yesterday.
Now I know that...

I heard that joke from Tim Vine
Can't No longer pass it off as mine.
Now know I stole that joke from Tim Vine
Oh and so I might now have to drop that line.
Honey, honey yeah.

I know that a comic ain't supposed to dry,
But this news hurts my performing pride
Cutting this gag would spoil my act you see,
Which is otherwise run of the mill observational comedy
I should've tried to come with something myself
Instead of stealing off of someone else.


I heard that joke from Tim Vine
Then I forget and passed it off as mine.
Now I know I heard that joke from Tim Vine
Oh and so I'll probably have to cut that line.
Honey, honey yeah.
Some comics say get away with what you can
Others want a joke-recycling ban
I can't help bein' confused
It it okay for me to joke-reuse?
Do you plan to boycott my show
Cos some other guy told my joke before?
Don't you know.
I heard that joke from Tim Vine
Then I forget and passed it off as mine.
Now I know I heard that joke from Tim Vine
Oh and so I'll probably have to cut that line.
Honey, honey yeah.
