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 scupper 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 goin' down
Games you tought you learned you neither lost nor won
[Yeah] Dreams have crashed and burned but you still keep on keeping on
High on the highway with the roadgang working
Up on the mountain with the cold wind blowing
High on the highway with the roadgang working
But the last laugh, baby is yours
And don't you love the sound of the last laugh goin' down
They had you crying but you came up smiling
They had you crawling but you came up flying
They had you crying but you came up smiling
And the last laugh, baby is yours
And don't you love the sound the last laugh goin' down
Yeah don't you love the sound off the last laugh goin' down
