Píseň: Laughin' Man

Interpret:
Harry Nilsson
Album:
Knnillssonn
They call him the laughin' man with the laughin' plan
He's got a laughin' place and a laughin' face.


If trouble tries to trouble in
And tries to snake its rattle in
The laughin' man begins to grin and trouble runs away.


And when the devil tries to creep
Into his dreams and tries to sleep
The laughin' man a dream away, a slack, a slack a day.


But the laughin' man uses his laughin' plan
He's got a laughin' place and a laughin' face.


So the laughin' man uses his laughin' plan
He just grins and smiles the laughin' man's way
Then he makes the devil curse and run away.


So when you're feelin' down or feelin' blue
Just think of what the laughin' man might do
Just draw yourself a nice and cosy bath
Then look in the mirror and laugh, laugh, laugh.


He is the laughin' man with the laughin' plan
He's got a laughin' place and a laughin' face.
