"Punchline" lyrics

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 them into entertainment
And I wonder

Was I a fucker in my past life?
'Cause karma's here and she's really trying
I try 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

When life gives me lemons
I just plant another tree
Now I've got an orchard
I drink lemonade for free
'Cause 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 try 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 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 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
