The Last Laugh lyrics

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 going down.

Games, you thought you'd learned,

You neither lost nor won,

Dreams have crashed and burned,

But you're still going on

Out on the highway with the road gang working,

Up on the mountain with the cold wind blowing,

Out on the highway with the road gang working,

But the last laugh, baby, is yours.

And don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh going down.

They had you crying but you came up smiling,

They had you crawling and you came up flying,

They had you crying and you came up smiling,

And the last laugh, baby, is yours.

And don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh going down.

Yeah, don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh going down.
