The Last Laugh

[Verse 1: Mark Knopfler]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Knopfler]

Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers

Down in the scuppers with the drunken sailors

Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers

[Chorus: Mark Knopfler]

But the last laugh, baby, is yours

And don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh going down

[Verse 2: Van Morrison]

Games you thought you'd learned

You neither lost nor won

The dreams have crashed and burned

You still keep on, keepin' on

[Pre-Chorus: Van Morrison]

Out on the highway with the road gang working

Up on a mountain with a cold wind blowing

Out on the highway with the road band working

[Chorus: Van Morrison]

But the last laugh, baby, is yours

And don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh going down

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Knopfler, Van Morrison]

They had you crying but you came up smiling

They had you crawling and you came up flyin'

They had you crying and you came up smiling

[Chorus: Mark Knopfler, Van Morrison]

And the last laugh, baby, is yours

And don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh goin' down

Well, don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh, goin' down
