[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?
