Should I Laugh or Cry
HeStandsTowering over meBeside my bedLosing his head
TellsMeI must take him seriouslyDroning on the usual wayHe's such a clever guyAnd I wonder should I laugh or cry
He's, he'sDressed, dressedIn the striped pyjamas that I boughtTrousers too short
Gives, givesMe, meOf his small philosophyCarries on the way he doesAnd me, I get so tiredAnd I wonder should I laugh or cry
Chorus:High and mighty his banner fliesA fool's pride in his eyesStanding there on his toes to grow in size
All I see isAll I see is a big balloonHalfway up to the moonHe's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoonOf an eternal lieSo should I laugh or cry
Strange, strangeHow, howDangerously indifferent I have grownCold as a stone
No, noMore, morePain where there was pain beforeFar away he rambles onI feel my throat go dryAnd I wonder should I laugh or cry
Chorus:High and mighty his banner fliesA fool's pride in his eyesStanding there on his toes to grow in size
All I see isAll I see is a big balloonHalfway up to the moonHe's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoonOf an eternal lieSo should I laugh or cry
