[Verse 1]

Oh what a night, oh what a night

Tears in my eyes, staring up at the sky in disbelief

"I've got a voice in my head, voice in my head"

That's what it said, all we really need is some comic relief

[Bridge]

But I'm afraid of not being able to laugh anymore, oh

What's life going to become once we don't have anymore heroes?

[Hook]

We don't know what the next man's going through

Wish I could say it in a plainer way

I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams

We've got to laugh the pain away

We don't know what the next man's going through

Wish I could say it in a plainer way

I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams

We've got to laugh the pain away

Laugh the pain away

[Verse 2]

John Belushi knew you and me better than we knew ourselves

And we all listen to Richard Pryor, yeah

I think don't make Philip Seymour Hoffman often

Now he's one of the things we lost in the fire (Lord, yes)

[Bridge]

But I'm afraid of not being able to laugh anymore, oh

What's life going to become once we don't have anymore heroes?

[Hook]

We don't know what the next man's going through

Wish I could say it in a plainer way

I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams

We've got to laugh the pain away

We don't know what the next man's going through

Wish I could say it in a plainer way

I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams

We've got to laugh the pain away

[Interlude]

(Oh) Chris Farley, can you hear me?

(Ah) Bernie, can you hear me?

[Hook]

We don't know what the next man's going through

I said, we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams

We don't know what the next man's going through

Wish I could say it in a plainer way

I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams;

We've got to laugh the pain away

[Outro]

Phil Hartman, can you hear me? Ooh yes

Robin, can you hear me?
