about

written about the late Joan Rivers

lyrics

If there’s an afterlife, she’s probably sticking in the knife
to some angel who does not look so steller
And whatever God is wearing, she’s probably declaring,
‘who was the designer, Helen Keller”

You know she would say whatever she wanted to
There were no rules no taboos
Except, make it funny….

She said I knew I was unwanted when my bath toys were
a toaster and a microwave
She said a peeping tom looked in my window
and then pulled down the shade

You know she would say whatever she wanted to
There were no rules no taboos
Except, make it funny….

Nothing was off limits to her, she’d talk about whatever she found
After 9/11 she said to a friend, let’s eat at windows on the ground


If there is an afterlife she’s probably sticking in the knife
and making Johnny Carson moan
There were lots of great woman comediennes,
but there’ll never be another Joan
