The Old Laughing Lady

Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more

Don't leave no message 'round her back door

They say the old laughing lady been here before

She don't keep time, she don't count score

Well, you can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall

You got to move, got no time left to stall

They say the old laughing lady dropped by to call

And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all

There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out the night

There's a slipping on the stairway, just don't feel right

And there's a rumbling in the bedroom and a flashing of light

And there's the old laughing lady, everything is all right

Everything is all right

Old laughing lady, everything is all right
