lyrics

One kid’s funny is another kid’s mean
One kid’s chuckle is
Another kid’s scream
One kid’s uncle is another kid’s dad
And one kid’s funny
Is another kid’s BAD

If you call up strangers
In the middle of the night
THAT’S NOT FUNNY
If you tie Mommy’s bra
To the tail of your kite
THAT’S NOT FUNNY
If you put bubble gum
In your best friend’s hat
If you set off a firecracker
Under the cat
If you hack your sister’s genome
And make her get fat
THAT’S NOT FUNNY AT ALL

Cause one kid’s funny
Is another kid’s mean
One kid’s chuckle
Is another kid’s scream
One kid’s nickle is another kid’s dime
And one kid’s funny
Is another kid’s WASTE OF TIME

If you bring a rotten egg
To show and tell
THAT’S NOT FUNNY
If you drop it on the floor
And say “What’s that smell?”
THAT’S NOT FUNNY
If you put your pet frog
In your Cream o’ Wheat
If you put DEAD BIRD
On the girl down the street
If you find Daddy’s tax return
And press “Delete”
THAT’S NOT FUNNY AT ALL

Cause one kid’s funny
Is another kid’s mean
One kid’s chuckle
Is another kid’s scream
One kid’s finger is another kid’s thumb
And one kid’s funny
Is another kid’s DUMB

If you tell little brother
He can walk on air
THAT’S NOT FUNNY
If you put a whoopie cushion
On the Principal’s chair
THAT’S NOT FUNNY
If you throw spit balls at the TV screen
If you feed your gerbil a jumping bean
If you screw up the past
With a time machine
THAT’S NOT FUNNY AT ALL

Cause one kid’s funny
Is another kid’s mean
One kid’s chuckle
Is another kid’s scream
One kid’s whistle
Is another kid’s song
And one kid’s funny
Is another kid’s WRONG
