I sit at my post
Down in the snow
It's raining somewhere.
I dunno.
I look for humans,
It's such a bore,
But then one day,
I see this door.
So I go to this door, practice knock-knock jokes,
Just some fun, nothing more, just jokes,
Knock 'em dead, knock 'em out, like my life's a joke,
Then I hear a voice.
Who's there?
I reply.
Dishes.
Dishes who?
Dishes a very, very bad knock-knock joke.
Then she howls, best she's heard in years
I keep goin', she keeps laughin' at my jokes,
Then I hear her voice.
Knock knock, who's there? Old lady, Old lady who?
I didn't know you could yodel.
Tellin' jokes, there for hours in the snow,
Then I had to go.
I came back, the next day, the day after that,
It's a thing, like a story for my bro,
Tell bad jokes, through a door, laugh your fears away,
'Cause it's raining somewhere.
Then one day, I told jokes, couldn't hear her laugh,
I asked her what was wrong that day.
I heard tears, weeping coming through the door,
Then I heard her voice.
If a human ever comes through the door
Would you promise me just one thing?
Watch over, protect the one who comes through the door,
Could you do this for me?
I hate making promises, and I don't know her name.
So I sat.
And thought.
It was raining somewhere.
That's a laugh.
But someone who could laugh at an awful joke,
You just can't say no, can't laugh it off,
Thanks to her, to promises and awful jokes,
Here you stand today.
Lighten up, I'll be there, I will keep you safe,
Look at you, standing strong, atta boy,
Guess that's all, so take care of yourself, kiddo,
Because someone cares.
It's raining somewhere.
