My family planed an intervention
On mine and their behalf
They see what I am doing and the trouble that's brewing
With the problem that I have

Seems no matter where it is I go
The gym, the bank, the grocery store
I look for opportunities
To make some sort of joke

And it kind of makes them nervous
When they hang around with me
As they see my mind a-itching and my eyes begin a-twitching
Looking for someone to listen as I begin to speak

They take me by the hand, with the nodding of their heads
In a frantic back and forth motion
Saying now's not the time to be the funny guy
Apparently my family is all knowing

But I really can not help myself
With my long list of funny sayings
Still I will bite my tongue till another chance comes along
To say something hilariously amazing

Of course I sometimes realize
What I find funny in my noggin
Once it hits the air is like barbed wire underwear
And deserves a good old fashion flogging

That's why I'm now sitting in this room
With the intervention on my behalf
As they explain what I am doing and the trouble it's brewing
This little problem that I  have...
My wife told me the other day my kids were planning an intervention....
