Jim Ed Brown - We're Laughing at the World Lyrics

(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...
