[00:03.33]Don't call pretty Peggy,
[00:27.53]she can't hear you no more
[00:36.21]Don't leave no message
[00:40.34]'round her back door.
[00:48.11]They say the old laughing lady
[00:53.79]been here before
[01:01.65]She don't keep time,
[01:06.78]she don't count score.
[01:17.23]
[01:19.28]You can't have a cupboard
[01:30.08]if there ain't no wall.
[01:34.57]You got to move there's
[01:48.98]no time left to stall.
[01:51.12]They say the old laughing lady
[01:55.71]dropped by to call
[02:00.69]And when she leaves,
[02:06.51]she leaves nothing at all.
[02:24.70]
[02:24.94]See the drunkard of the village
[02:29.32]falling on the street.
[02:36.69]Can't tell his ankles
[02:39.77]from the rest of his feet.
[02:47.01]He loves his old laughing lady
[02:53.63]'cause her taste is so sweet.
[03:02.84]But his laughing lady's loving
[03:05.82]ain't the kind he can keep.
[04:19.01]There's a fever on the freeway,
[04:22.80]blacks out the night.
[04:26.43]There's a slipping on the stairway,
[04:35.04]just don't feel right
[04:44.91]And there's a rumbling
[04:46.35]in the bedroom
[04:48.59]and a flashing of light
[04:53.78]There's the old laughing lady,
[05:02.43]everything is all right.
