Inside Jokes - Song#38

Inside Jokes by Rich Baker

Inside jokes are great if you’re on the inside
No need for set up or premise just punchline
A fun moment that two or more can share
It bonds us and reminds us how we care

(Chorus)
The joke that we’re telling’s on the inside
You won’t get it no matter how we try
Inside jokes
Inside jokes

If you try to explain it you won’t succeed
You should know this before you proceed
But go ahead and watch the blank stare
It’s true when they say ‘You just had to be there.’

(Chorus)

And it seems cruel to tell one of these
Around someone else. Seems like a tease.
And you catch yourself saying almost like a command
‘No wait, you simply don’t understand.’

Of course they don’t, because it happened to you
For them it has no meaning. It’s not true.
It’s superfluous and completely unkind
And on that note here’s a list of some of mine:

(Bridge)
Who was that man with ‘Prime’ written on his butt?
It was about that actress, you know: Judy Garland?
Hmmm…I feel a bit thirsty. Sand
Oh man I walked right into that one. You’re so good.
“Maybe those others, but not us though.”
“Have you seen him with his shirt off?”
“Thank you, God for making Brian so attractive to women”
“Does anyone know what a best boy is?”
“I’m a little racist.”
Shooting pool, listening to Tom Petty.
One in each bedroom. One in the living room.
Undercovmo Policemo
Baker and Walker. The ladies can’t help themselves.
Batman, this is Plastic Man.
Duh, she’s my girl. That Jess, she’s my girl
Alpha Dogs – Rough!

Unless you’re one of just a small few
None of that had any meaning to you
Fun for me
Seems like a waste of time wouldn’t you agree?

(Chorus x2)

(Spoken over music)
By the way. Remember that time we heard that song by that guy who just sang about inside jokes that none of us got?
