Lyrics

YOU AND ME WE'RE IN A GARDEN
GROWING DAISIES ON A LAWN
SUDDENLY THE PATHWAYS HARDEN
THEN THEY'RE GONE

IT'S KILLING WEEDS ON MONDAY
TUESDAY CUTTING SOMETHING DOWN
WHERE'S THE NEED FOR THIS DESTRUCTION
HEY DARLIN, WHAT'S GOING ON

YOU GOTTA LAUGH SOMETIMES
ELSE YOU GONNA CRY
YOU GOTTA LAUGH SOMETIMES
OR YOU'LL BE FALLING FOR THEIR LIES
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO SAY I LOVE YOU
WITH NOTHING IN THEIR EYES
YOU GOTTA LAUGH SOMETIMES
ELSE YOU GONNA CRY

WE'RE BEING POISONED BY THE BERRIES
GETTING TANGLED UP IN THORNS
WE BEEN CRYING ROUND THE GARDEN
WAY TOO LONG

YOU GOTTA LAUGH SOMETIMES
ELSE YOU GONNA CRY
YOU GOTTA LAUGH SOMETIMES
OR YOU'LL BE FALLING FOR THEIR LIES
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO SAY I LOVE YOU
WITH NOTHING IN THEIR EYES
YOU GOTTA LAUGH SOMETIMES
ELSE YOU GONNA CRY

HEY YOU PEOPLE OF AUSTRALIA
GATHER ROUND THE BARBECUE
TELL THOSE PEOPLE IN AMERICA
ROUND THE TV NEWS
YOU GOTTA LAUGH SOMETIMES
OR YOU'LL BE CRYING TOO


YOU GOTTA LAUGH SOMETIMES
ELSE YOU GONNA CRY
YOU GOTTA LAUGH SOMETIMES
OR YOU'LL BE FALLING FOR THEIR LIES
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO SAY I LOVE YOU
WITH NOTHING IN THEIR EYES
YOU GOTTA LAUGH SOMETIMES
ELSE YOU GONNA CRY

Up tempo song with sax!
