Cartoon Life

Well I had an opinion

which I lost along the way

with a little too much slapstick

& too much comedy

I could have been a stand up in the theatre

or a carnival act

I've done my bit for vaudeville

& now there's no looking back

through this cartoon life....

Well I'm not the only one

I'm reassured by the fact

it's lonely in the funny papers

with a knife stuck in your back

a cardboard cutout for a companion

in a watercolour life

what is real & what is not

doesen't matter in a cartoon life

this cartoon life....

I don't feel like complaining

I wouldn't trade the life I've had

& I sing no regrets for any that I have

I won't change a thing

because now I understand

This cartoon life......
