Renata, I hope you will listen to this song in near future.
I listened to the song when First Television Special was broadcast in Japan.
My family didn't have a video recorder. So I took pictures and taped the show
to cassette tape. But I don't have it now.

Here is the link to the lyrics.

The Carpenters All-Purpose Stand-Up One-Liners Sing-A-Long Monologue For Two

These are jokes, folks

Bum came up to me
Uh-huh, bum came up to you
Said he hadn't had a bite in days
So I bit him

These are the jokes
We know you're out there
We can hear you breathing

How do you lower taxes?
Just raise the Gulf of Mexico
Ho ho ho

Take my wife
Take his wife, please!

Just flew in from Chicago
Boy, are my arms tired

Cross an owl with a goat
And what do you get?
You get a hoot-nanny

You're such a wonderful group
Don't applaud, throw money
There's a fly in my soup

I do a Cagney impression
How about that?
You dirty brother
You killed my rat

Traveling salesman comes up to a farmhouse
The farmer says I haven't got an extra bedroom
Because I've got three daughters
But-

That's the Carpenters all-purpose
Stand-up, one-liners
Sing-a-long monologue
For two

Oh, the pains
Oh, the pains
Oh, the pains
Oh, the pains

Wooh ooh ooh ooh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh
