Billy Cobb All My Favorite Comedians Are Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Buster Keaton was a stuntman playing games with his life
Groucho Marx brought all the slapstick when the talkies arrived
Then Mel Blanc had all the voices, yeah, no two were alike
Don Rickles showed you love with words that skinned you alive
Andy Kaufman was an enigma, no one knew what to think
Norm MacDonald brought you news with smug retorts of reality
Chris Farley brought the party while John Candy brought the heart
George Carlin was a rebel blending comedy with smarts

[Chorus]
All my favorite comedians are dеad and it was said they'd live forevеr
Now the joke's on them, they'll never tell their jokes again
All my favorite comedians are dead and it was said they'd live forever
Now the joke's on them, they'll never tell their jokes again
[Guitar solo]

[Verse 2]
Trevor Moore was edgy like the whitest kids that you knew
While Paul Reubens was so quirky with his cheery attitude
Jim Henson was a mastermind of puppets and art
Graham Chapman was king Arthur, a Messiah and a god
Sam Kinison was rowdy, he would scream out his lungs
Rodney Dangerfield had eyes that made you spit out your tongue
Leslie Nielsen was so serious, yeah surely you knew
Lucille Ball was making history with a sitcom or two

[Chorus]
All my favorite comedians are dead and it was said they'd live forever Now the joke's on them, they'll never tell their jokes again
All my favorite comedians are dead and it was said they'd live forever
Now the joke's on them, they'll never tell their jokes again

[Bridge]
The attitude of Richard Pryor with the whimsy of Gene Wilder
Robin Williams gave up the ghost but his smile was never wider
Larry, Curly and Moe have gone off to Heaven knows
But they're probably smoking cigars with Charlie Chaplin and Bob Hope

[Pre-Chorus]
All my favorite comedians are dead and it was said they'd live forever
Now the joke's on them, they'll never tell their jokes again
All my favorite comedians are dead and it was said they'd live forever
Now the joke's on them, they'll never tell their jokes again
[Chorus]
All my favorite comedians are dead and it was said they'd live forever
Now the joke's on them, they'll never tell their jokes again
All my favorite comedians are dead and it was said they'd live forever
Now the joke's on them, they'll never tell their jokes again

[Outro]
All my favorite comedians are dead and it was said they'd live forever
Now the joke's on them, they'll never tell their jokes again
All my favorite comedians are dead and it was said they'd live forever
Now the joke's on them, they'll never tell their jokes again
