D Em/D Dmaj7 Em/D
Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more
D Em/D Dmaj7
Don't leave no message 'round her back door
[Chorus]
G/D D Em/D
They say the "Old Laughing Lady" been here before
Dmaj7 Dm7 G
She don't keep time, she don't count score
[Verse 2]
D Em/D Dmaj7 Em/D
You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall
D Em/D Dmaj7 Em/D
You got to move, there's no time left to stall
[Chorus]
G/D D Em/D
They say the "Old Laughing Lady" dropped by to call
Dmaj7 Dm7 G
When she leaves, she leaves nothing at all
Dmaj7 Dm7 Dmaj7 Dm7 G/D Dmaj7 Dm7 Dmaj7 Dm7 G/D D
D Em/D Dmaj7 Em/D
See the drunkyard of the village falling on the street
D Em/D Dmaj7
Can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet
G/D D Em/D
He loves his old laughing lady 'cause her taste is so sweet
Dmaj7 Dm7 G
But the laughing lady's lovin', ain't the kind he can keep
D Em/D Dmaj7
There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out the night
D Em/D Dmaj7
There's a slipping on the stairway, just don't feel right
D Em/D Dmaj7
And there's a rumbling in the bedroom and a flashing of light
Dmaj7 Dm7 C
There's the "Old Laughing Lady", ev'rything is all right
