[Verse 1]
Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more
Don't leave no message 'round her back door
They say the old laughing lady been here before
Well, she don't keep time, she don't count score

[Verse 2]
You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall
You got to move, you got no time left to stall
Some say the old laughing lady dropped by to call
And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
There's a fever on the freeway blacks out the night
There's a slipping on the stairway, just don't feel right
And there's a rumbling in the bedroom
There's a flashing of light
There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right
