(Verse)
A mop! A broom! A pail!
The stuff my dreams are made of
You hope, you strive, you fail
The world's a place you're not afraid of
But soon you are brought down to earth
And you learn what your dream was worth
(Chorus)
This funny world
Makes fun of the things that you strive for
This funny world
Can laugh at the dreams you're alive for
If you're beaten conceal it
There's no pity for you
For the world cannot feel it
Just keep to yourself
Weep to yourself
This funny world
Can turn right around and forget you
It's always sure
To roll right along when you're through
If you are broke, you shouldn't mind
It's all a joke, for you will find
This funny world
Is making fun of you
A mop! A broom! A pail!
The stuff my dreams are made of
You hope, you strive, you fail
The world's a place you're not afraid of
But soon you are brought down to earth
And you learn what your dream was worth
(Chorus)
This funny world
Makes fun of the things that you strive for
This funny world
Can laugh at the dreams you're alive for
If you're beaten conceal it
There's no pity for you
For the world cannot feel it
Just keep to yourself
Weep to yourself
This funny world
Can turn right around and forget you
It's always sure
To roll right along when you're through
If you are broke, you shouldn't mind
It's all a joke, for you will find
This funny world
Is making fun of you
