Let me be the jester

Look around the world
You see sullen faces
Look for happiness
Its there only in traces
So i wanna be the jester

When i crack a joke
They hardly smile
When i do something funny
They call me juvenile
I still wanna be the jester

The cackle of a child
Or guffaw of a friend
Laughter in this world
Shall never meet an end
And i am gonna be the jester
