Laughing Song

When the green woods laugh with the voice

of joy,

And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;

When the air does laugh with our merry wit,

And the green hill laughs with the noise of it,

When the meadows laugh with lively green,

And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scenr,

When Mary and Susan and Emily

With their sweet round mouths sing "HA, Ha, He!"

When the painted birds laugh in the shade,

Where our table with cherries and nuts

is spread,

Come live & be merry, and join with me,

To sing the sweet chorus of "Ha, Ha, He!"

People are strange

when you're a stranger

Faces look ugly when you're alone

Women seem wicked when you're unwanted

Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange

Faces come out of the rain

When you're strange

No one remembers your name

When you're strange

When you're strange

When you're strange
