The Last Laugh

Don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh, my friend?

Don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh at the end?

Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers

Down in the scuppers with the drunken sailors

Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers

But the last laugh

Baby, is yours

And don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh goin' down

Games you thought you'd learned

You neither lost nor won

They're dreams have crashed and burned

You still keep on keepin' on

Out on the highway with the road gang workin'

Up on a mountain with a cold wind blowin'

Out on the highway was a road band workin'

But the last laugh, baby, is yours

And don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh goin' down?

They had you cryin' and you came up smilin'

They had you crawlin' and you came up flyin'

They had you cryin' and you came up smilin'

And the last laugh, baby, is yours

And don't you love the sound

The last laugh goin' down?

Well, don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh goin' down?
