When A Finger Is Cut

We were thinking about comedians from before our time
The humor and laughs and blue collar crime
Well, it’s not like anyone died from their comedy
Except Belushi, Pryor, Close, and Candy
Maybe a couple more could be stated
But we wouldn’t want them to be overrated

It is said that tragedy is when a finger is cut
But comedy lies when beaten by a slut
And I’m on the edge of finding the truth
Concerning comedy’s vices doused in vermouth

We were thinking about becoming comedians this time
Working on our acts and cutting out all the grime
But where are our heroes to show us the way
The fall of the spotlight can come any day
And I’m hoping the laughs will never go away
And soon there will be nothing left to say…

It is said that tragedy is when a finger is cut
But comedy lies when beaten by a slut
And I’m on the edge of finding the truth
Concerning comedy’s vices doused in vermouth

So, the end is coming near
And everyone will cheer
But not before we go out with a bang
The last comedians to finally hang
With a red lipstick smile on our cheeks
