Laughing Boy (feat. Charlie Sexton & George Reiff)

Who loves you laughing boy? With 101 jokes up your sleeve Everybody's favorite clown

Til the party's over and the chips are down

Who loves you laughing boy? With all the money in the world

A family name and cunning charm A diamond beauty on your arm

Where does it say that we were made to love you Where is the sky now if it's not above you

Why do they always say that You'll grow up someday

Who loves you laughing boy?

With all the power at your command The rules were made for you to bend With no pretense to make emends

Where does it say that we were made to love you Where is the sky now if it's not above you

Why do they always say that You'll grow up someday

The devil sings you soft to sleep Now the world turns men to sheep By the time you close your eyes

All your dreams have passed you by

Who loves you laughing boy? When there's no one up above Raise a glass and make a toast To everybody's favorite joke

Where does it say that we were made to love you Where is the sky now if it's not above you

Why do they always say that You'll grow up someday
