Lyrics
Who?s Laughin? Now
Music by Mark Segal Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 2001
I need a new track,
I need a new train.
Down at the central,
They say I haven?t got a brain.
Maybe I?m crazy,
Or just plain blue,
But either way,
Baby look at you.
I?ve got style, I know how to dress,
I am happy in this mess,
Who?s laughin? now.
Verse:
Some people say, that I?m too old.
But I have hope and just one goal.
Gotta keep, moving and singing my song
I do nothin? all day long.
Don?t think for a moment, that I give a damn,
What people say, I?m what I am, Who?s Laughin? Now.
Bridge:
Not too, many years ago,
I was living? in a one room shack.
Now I?m out runnin? fancy free,
Gee golly, will ya look at me.
Who?s laughin? now.
Well, I?ve been good and I?ve been bad.
I know one fine thing I?m the best you ever had.
I?ve been down and I?ve been true,
And I don?t need to be rescued.
Don?t think for a moment, that I give a damn,
What people say, I?m what I am, Who?s Laughin? Now.
