Don't call pret-ty Peg-gy, she can't hear you
no more. Don't leave no mes-sage, 'round her
back door. They say the old laugh-in' la-dy
been here be-fore. She don't keep time, she
don't count score. You can't have a cup-board
if there ain't no wall. You got to move, there's
no time for you to stall. They say the old
laugh-in' la-dy dropped by to call, and when
she leaves, she leaves noth-ing at all. See the
drunk-ard of the vil-lage fal-lin' on the street.
He can't tell his an-kle from the rest of his
feet. He loves his old laugh-in' la-dy 'cause
her taste is so sweet. But the laugh-in' la-dy's
lov-in' ain't the kind he can keep. There's a
fe-ver on the free-way, blacks out the night.
There's a slip-pin' on the stair-way, just don't
feel right. There's a rumb-lin' in the bed-room
and a flash-in' of light. There's the old
laugh-in' la-dy ev-'ry thing is all right.
There's the old laugh-in' la-dy ev-'ry thing
is all right.
