Lyrics Harry Nilsson

Harry Nilsson

Laughin' Man

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.
