Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Clown of every class he sat in the back of
Life of every party he ever crashed up
Always jokin', always performin'
Make you laugh so hard your stomach hurt the next mornin’
Josh was that guy, witty as hell
Just knew one day that dude was gonna be on SNL
Next Chris Farley, woulda bet you money
He was so funny that it wasn’t even funny

[Chorus]
It’s too bad bein' funny and bein' happy ain’t the same thing
It ain’t the same thing
It’s so sad some of the loneliest hearts in the crowd are the most entertaining
Such as strange thing
Here’s to the ones who make us laugh to keep themselves from crying
Here’s to the ones who make us laugh to keep themselves from crying

[Verse 2]
It’s messed up Josh, how much miss you
Guess there wasn’t enough laughter in this world to fix you
I’m sorry, my eyes weren’t open, man
Honestly, I didn’t even know you were broken, man
Never saw you serious one time in your life
But it’s obvious you had a serious side you were hiding
Somewhere deep inside behind all that humor
Just I wish I’d a known a little sooner

[Chorus]
It’s too bad bein' funny and bein' happy ain’t the same thing
It ain’t the same thing
It’s so sad some of the loneliest hearts in the crowd are the most entertaining
Such as strange thing
Here’s to the ones who make us laugh to keep themselves from crying
Here’s to the ones who make us laugh to keep themselves from crying

[Chorus]
It’s too bad bein' funny and bein' happy ain’t the same thing
It ain’t the same thing
It’s so sad some of the loneliest hearts in the crowd are the most entertaining
Such as strange thing
Here’s to the ones who make us laugh to keep themselves from crying
Here’s to the ones who make us laugh to keep themselves from crying
