Lyrics

[00:35.26] Don't call pretty Peggy,
[00:38.64] she can't hear you no more
[00:41.64]
[00:46.14] Don't leave no message
[00:49.20]
[00:50.01] 'round her back door.
[00:52.89]
[00:56.70] They say the old laughing lady
[00:59.64]
[01:01.26] been here before
[01:03.95]
[01:08.26] She don't keep time,
[01:11.33]
[01:12.51] she don't count score.
[01:16.20]
[01:33.08] You can't have a cupboard
[01:36.82] if there ain't no wall.
[01:39.89]
[01:42.02] You got to move there's
[01:45.24] no time left to stall.
[01:48.24]
[01:51.62] They say the old laughing lady
[01:55.99] dropped by to call
[01:59.80]
[02:03.12] And when she leaves,
[02:05.80]
[02:06.74] she leaves nothing at all.
[02:09.68]
[02:56.80] See the drunkard of the village
[03:00.74] falling on the street.
[03:04.37]
[03:08.49] Can't tell his ankles
[03:10.56] from the rest his of feet.
[03:13.00]
[03:17.88] He loves his old laughing lady
[03:22.37] 'cause her taste is so sweet.
[03:26.12]
[03:28.94] But his laughing lady's loving
[03:31.81] ain't the kind he can keep.
[03:35.44]
[03:50.56] There's a fever on the freeway,
[03:54.62] blacks out the night.
[04:01.00] There's a slipping on the stairway,
[04:04.06] just don't feel right
[04:07.31]
[04:11.75] And there's a rumbling
[04:13.75] in the bedroom
[04:16.13] and a flashing of light
[04:19.38]
[04:22.38] There's the old laughing lady,
[04:25.25] everything is all right.
