I Started A Joke Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

I started a joke which started the whole world crying 

But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no 

I started to cry which started the whole world laughing 

Oh if I only see that the joke was on me 

Oh I look at the sky running my hand over my eyes 

And I fell out of breath turning my head from things that I said 

Till I finally die which started the whole world living 

Oh if I only see that the joke was on me 

Oh I look at the sky, 

Oh no that the joke was on me
