"So Why Did I Become a Comedian?" lyrics
Sparks & Adam Driver Lyrics
(from "Annette (Unlimited Edition)" soundtrack)
[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?
Yes, why did I become a comedian?
To entertain some balding men?

To make you notice what you've always surely noticed never noticing you notice until I ask you:
