Where Have all the Comics Gone

~ To the tune of: 'Where Have All the Flowers Gone?' ~ Where have all the comics gone Long time passing Milton Berle and Alan King Long time did their thing Where have all their insults gone Long time passing Don Rickles and Groucho Marx Echo in empty parks Where has all the slapstick gone Long time passing Larry, Moe, and Curly Joe Gave way to milquetoast shows Where have all the tap dancers gone Sammy Davis, Donald O’Connor Bumpers and grinders of today Do the greats a dishonor Where have all the comics gone Georgie Jessel and George Burns Gone the way of Romantic poets’ poems ~ Like Keats’ ‘Ode to a Grecian Urn’
