When I try to make a joke, they all say "that ain't funny!"
Everyone staring at me, as if I was a fool
When I say "Fatass!", they all say "Idiot!"
But when Hans Alfredson comes along,
says the same thing
Then it's funny as hell
If I wiggle my toes, they're shaking their heads
When I scratch my ass, they call me crazy
When I say "Boston Butt", they call me demented (2a)
But along comes Povel Ramel, says the same (3)
And suddenly it's funny
It's kinda funny, the roles we play
What doesn't fit into my mouth, will fit in his (3a)
It's a hopeless thing, these roles we play
When I say "Boner Alert!", I'll go to jail
But when Hasse Alfredsson says it,
they're laughing themselves to death
When I try to sing something beautiful, they say:
"Shut up with that crap!"
When I screw up, they're gonna teach me, alright
But when Roger Whittaker comes and sings the same thing
then it's just beautiful
