Laugh you son of a gun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm not a king
But I've got more than a king
Because this whole world
Seems to be a comedy to me
I may be broke
But I take life as a joke
And if you want to
Make each day a holiday
Try my way
Look at the funny side
And have your fun
Stay by your honey's side
And laugh you son of a gun
It doesn't cost a thing
To buy the sun
You haven't lost a thing
So laugh you son of a gun
I don't mean a snigger
heh heh heh
I don't mean a giggle
hee hee hee
I don't mean a chuckle
No no no no
What I mean is ho ho ho ho
Look at the funny side
For when you're done
Its all a buggy ride
So laugh you son of a gun!
