[Verse 1]
You're feeling nervous, aren’t you, boy?
With your quiet voice and impeccable style
Don't ever let them steal your joy
And your gentle ways, to keep you from running wild
They can kick dirt in your face
Dress you down, and tell you that your place
Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
I see you tugging on your shirt (Hmm)
Trying to hide inside of it to hide how much it hurts
[Chorus]
Let 'em laugh while they can
Let ’em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
I have been to the moviеs, I've seen how it ends
But the jokе's on them
[Verse 2]
You get discouraged, don't you, girl?
It's your brother's world for a little while longer
Yeah, you gotta dance with the devil on a river
To beat the stream
Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
[Chorus]
And Let 'em laugh while they can
Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
But the joke’s on them
[Outro]
Let 'em laugh while they can
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
And I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends
But the joke's on them
But the joke's on them
But the joke's on them
