The Fun House

That boy will make you want to cheat,
led through mirrors in Joker’s fun house;
Your happiness cannot take a backseat;

Twisting your form you think it’s defeat,
perfect reflection but you see a clown’s;
That boy will make you want to cheat;

Don’t fall for a comedic pied piper beat,
or get a virus from contagious frowns;
Your happiness cannot take a backseat;

You hear his deranged phrase on repeat
‘til you tune out the background sounds;
That boy will make you want to cheat;

Swirling images show you incomplete,
all that’s missing are your golden crowns;
Your happiness cannot take a backseat;

Just as you are you are complete,
you already survived the hardest rounds;
That boy will make you want to cheat,
your happiness cannot take a backseat.
