Telegram (2006 Remastered Live Version) (2006 Remastered Version Live)

I forgot to tell you this earlier, mmm

I got a telegram from somebody who couldn't make it

And I'ma read it to you real quick here

He wrote this to me and I'll read it then I'll translate it

This came from James Brown, Godfather of Soul

-Incoherent gibberish

That means, "Congratulations, Jonathan, on your first recording

I'm sorry I wasn't able to be here personally

I'm sure that God is going to work miracles in the form of comedy

Thank you for opening for me over the years

God bless you, I am James Brown, the Godfather of Soul"

That's from James Brown

Hahaha, -incoherent gibberish

The theme for the whole show is laugh yourself to life

'Cause I don't want you to use this recording

As a means of comparing me with anybody else

Or trying to say they do this, I don't do that, don't go there

Just let it be something for you to use

Every day just to help you feel better

That's all I want you to do, I want you to smile

'Cause see y'all, yeah, applaud for that

I want you just to smile and be happy
