We're Laughing at the World

(Larry Lee - Bobby Dyson)



I have no shoes to offer you

For your pretty dainty feet

And it paints the very center of my soul

To see you smile so sweet.



Sing it doesn't matter

You just want to be my girl

And as long as we're together

We're laughing at the world.



I can tell you're feeling cold

'Cause there ain't no heat in the house

Your skirt is wearing much better

I see twenty patches on your blouse.



You tell me not to worry

And you toss your pretty curls

As long as we're together

We're laughing at the world.



We're laughing at the world

Though it's turned us down

We're the down and outs

They don't care to have around.



But we still have each other

And our own little social world

As long as we're together

We're laughing at the world.



The baby's almost here now

And I know your many needs

But there's no way to harvest the crop

Before you plant the seeds.



If life was like the oyster

You'd truly be a pearl

And as long as we're together

We're laughing at the world.



We're laughing at the world

We're laughing at the world

Though it's turned us down

We're the down and outs

They don't care to have around.



But we still have each other

And our own little social world

As long as we're together

We're laughing at the world...
