WHEN SALLY LAUGHS

Words and music by Howard Kranz

G C G

When Carl laughs, it belches forth like a storm;

D G C G

and when Arlene laughs, it’s sweet and airy and warm;

G G7 C

and I love it when Laura laughs; it cheers me through and through;

G D G C G

but when Sally laughs, I’ve got to laugh too.

G C G

Now when my employer laughs, I try to laugh back, but it sounds like a croak;

D G C G

and when the leader of the free world laughs, I always wonder who’s in on the joke;

G G7 C

and when the people on TV laugh, I’m glad that they got their cue;

G D G C G

but when Sally laughs, I’ve got to laugh too.

.

La la verse.

G C G

Now this world is a veil of tears, oh yes, it’s a strange and confusing place;

D G C G

and some days I try to smile, but I know that I am only distorting my face;

G G7 C

and some days I feel so lost, and I wonder if anything’s true;

G D C G

but when Sally laughs, I’ve got to laugh too.
