Collected from JOE WATSON Caringbah, NSW Recorded 1973 onwards The Laughing SongAs I was coming 'round the corner, I heard some people say<Here comes a dandy darkie, he comes this way, Well, he is like a snow plough, his mouth is like a trap, And when he goes to drink a beer, you will see a fearful gap. chorus So then I laughed ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I couldn't stop from laughing ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha When ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I couldn't stop from laughing ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Oh, his mother was a princess, his fatherw as a prince, He was chewing half an apple, after swallowing half a quince, But he will be the king of Africa, in the sweet by and by And when I heard 'em say it, I laughed until I cried, So then I laughed ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I couldn't stop from laughing ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha When ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I couldn't stop from laughing ha ha ha ha ha ha ha But now my friend just listen, to what I've got to say, I tried my best to please you with my simple little lay And if you think it's funny, or a quiet bit of chaff, All I want you to do is join me in my laugh. So then I laughed ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I couldn't stop from laughing ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha When ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I couldn't stop from laughing ha ha ha ha ha ha ha |
