Biography:
Jens Martin Lekman (born February 6, 1981 in Angered, Sweden) is a Swedish musician. He has released four albums and several EPs since 2003. His music can be described as guitar-based pop with heavy use of samples and strings, with lyrics that are often witty, romantic, and lachrymose. His work is often compared to that of Stephin Merritt of the The Magnetic Fields, Jonathan Richman and Morrissey.
Lekman recorded and released much of his material privately from 2000 to 2003 on CD-R.

A man walks into a bar
Amaj7
orders a beer and a bowl of peanuts
Dmaj7
but the bar turns into a spaceship
C
and the bartender gives him a haircut
D
I can’t remember the end of that joke
C
you once told me to me when we smoked
D
on your father’s expensive cigars
all I remember is the part
Amaj7
of a man walking into a bar
How many lovers does it take
to put a light bulb into a socket
and why did Mona Lisa smile
I have the answer written down in my pocket
I just remember I laughed ‘til I cried
because you told it to me with your funny voice
your southern dialect makes me rejoice
these special times we had
when love was just a silly gag
Amaj7
I know why Mona Lisa smiled
da Vinci must have been a really funny guy
E Amaj7
and laughter is the only way into my heart
Summer night on a gravel road
you told me ‘bout your childhood friend Veronica
who was claimed to have swallowed a toe
then I picked up my harmonica
I know why Mona Lisa smiled
da Vinci must have been a really funny guy
and laughter is the only way into my heart
A man walks into a bar
orders a scotch and a bottle of coke
but the laughter is gone in his heart
you never told me the end of the joke…
