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 going down

Games you thought you'd learned
You neither lost nor won
The dreams have crashed and burned
You still keep on, keeping on

Out on the highway
With the road gang, working
Up on a mountain
With a cold wind blowing

Out on the highway
Was a road band, 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
And 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
The last laugh going down?
Well, don't you love the sound
Of the last laugh, going down
