Where's the fun in that?

you can be a goody two-shoes till the end of your days 
you can listen to them say: "Сrime never pays"
you can follow every law and be the big black bat 

But why would you want to? Huh?
Where's the fun in that?

Where's the fun in tha-a-a-at?!

So, smile, darn you, smile!
Everybody loves to grin!
Follow my lead, recite my creed
and smile, darn you, smile!

Don't listen to the dullets say that life is a bore 
Those fuddy-duddies spoil my fun!
That's why I strive to eradicate gloom 
it's from that itch I made the switch 
and chose my nom de plume!

The JOKER! [birds chirping]

There's the fun in that?
Ha ha ha!
There's the fun in tha-a-a-at?

So, smile, darn you, smile 
everybody ought to laugh 
and so, with glee 
I do decree, just smile, darn you, smile!

so, when living gets a little rough 
and you find it hard to cope 
I'm the gent with just the stuff 
to fill you full of hope 

just smile, darn you, smile 
everybody needs a clown

Now with one stroke
The final joke!

just smile, darn you, 
SMILE! darn you, smile 
everybody loves to grin 
follow my lead, recite my creed 
and smi-i-i-ile!
 ha!
Darn you, smi-i-i-i-ile!
 ha ha ha!
 I love it.
