Dont call pretty Peggy,
she cant hear you no more
Dont leave no message
round her back door.
They say the old laughing lady
been here before
She dont keep time,
she dont count score.
You cant have a cupboard
if there aint no wall.
You got to move theres
no time left to stall.
They say the old laughing lady
dropped by to call
And when she leaves,
she leaves nothing at all.
See the drunkard of the village
falling on the street.
Cant tell his ankles
from the rest of his feet.
He loves his old laughing lady
cause her taste is so sweet.
But his laughing ladys loving
aint the kind he can keep.
Theres a fever on the freeway,
blacks out the night.
Theres a slipping on the stairway,
just dont feel right
And theres a rumbling
in the bedroom
and a flashing of light
Theres the old laughing lady,
everything is all right.
