Mark Knopfler

The Last Laugh

Don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh my friend

Don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh at the end

Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers

Down in the scuppers with the drunken sailors

Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers

But the last laugh, baby is yours

And don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh going down

Games you thought you'd learned

You neither lost nor won

Dreams have crashed and burned

You still keep on keeping on

Out on the highway with the road gang working

Up on the mountain with the cold wind blowing

Out on the highway with the road band working

But the last laugh, baby is yours

And don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh going down

They had you crying but you came up smiling

They had you crawling and you came up flying

They had you crying and you came up smiling

And the last laugh, baby is yours

And don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh going down

Yeh, don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh going do.......own
