A laugh for the way my life has gone
A laugh for the love of a friend
A laugh for the fools in the eyes of the world
The love that will never end
Ha ha haLet's hear a laugh for the man of the world
Who thinks he can make things work
Tried to build the new Jerusalem
And ended up with New York
Ha ha haA laugh for the sun redballing
Through the thermal inversion haze
A laugh for the nuclear good time boys
Numbering all our days
Ha ha haA laugh for the newsprint nightmare
A world that never was
Where the questions are all why
And the answers are all because
Ha ha haA laugh for the dogs barking at our heels
They don't know where we've been
A laugh for the dirty window pane
Hiding the love within
Ha ha haTapping our feet to an ancient tune
A laugh for the time gone by
A laugh for me and kitty in the delivery room
Waiting for the child's first cry
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
