Laugh It Off

If you find yourself in lock-up, write a song about a jail
And if you set your boat on fire in the middle of a gale
If you lose your only lover, go find something sweet and soft
And laugh it off, ha ha ha ha, laugh it off

If a joke about the police don't go over with a bang
If you tell 'em you're a singer, they don't like the way you sing
Then get yourself an attorney, go out, and play some golf
And laugh it off, ha ha ha, laugh it off

Hey, don't get mad when you lose at 21
Just roll the dice and go on having fun
And get some Humboldt marijuana
Guaranteed to make you cough
And laugh it off, ha ha, laugh it off, son

If you get yourself a ticket, second one in thirty days
And the courthouse can't find records for the ones already paid
If you should get pneumonia with an everlasting cough
Laugh it off, ha ha

Hey, don't get mad when you lose at 21
Just roll the dice and go on having fun
And get some Humboldt marijuana
Guaranteed to make you cough
And laugh it off, ha ha ha

(Here comes Don
He's had some, he's had some
Well...)

Don't get mad when you lose at 21
Just roll the dice and go on having fun
And get yourself a good attorney
Take him out and play some golf
And laugh it off
Ha ha, laugh it off
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
