Lyrics and translation Sananda Maitreya - The Laughing Song

The Laughing Song

I got a seat in a restaurant
It wasn't the table that I want
It happens more than a little
But you got to laugh about it
I ordered the 'catch of the day'
Which they seemed to find on the freeway
It made my Bo Diddley diddle
But you got to laugh about it

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
YOU GOT TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
YOU GOT TO LAUGH ABOUT IT

I booked a seat on an airplane
A window seat as I explained
They put me right in the middle
But you got to laugh about it
I sat next to a motor mouth
Who didn't know what he was talking about
It left my mind all a riddle
But you got to laugh about it

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
YOU GOT TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
YOU GOT TO LAUGH ABOUT IT

I got a call from the tax man
'Said I was late with the facts man
He made me sell all my fiddles
But you got to laugh about it
I lost my car in a landslide
It wasn't the last time that I cried
But when the tears start to trickle
You've got to laugh about it

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
YOU GOT TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
YOU GOT TO LAUGH ABOUT IT

La chanson du rire

J'ai trouvé une place dans un restaurant
Ce n'était pas la table que je voulais
Ça arrive plus souvent qu'on ne le croit
Mais il faut en rire
J'ai commandé le "poisson du jour"
Qu'ils semblaient avoir trouvé sur l'autoroute
Ça m'a fait un Bo Diddley
Mais il faut en rire

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
IL FAUT EN RIRE
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
IL FAUT EN RIRE

J'ai réservé une place dans un avion
Une place près de la fenêtre, comme je l'ai expliqué
Ils m'ont mis au milieu
Mais il faut en rire
Je me suis assis à côté d'un bavard
Qui ne savait pas de quoi il parlait
Ça m'a laissé l'esprit en ébullition
Mais il faut en rire

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
IL FAUT EN RIRE
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
IL FAUT EN RIRE

J'ai reçu un appel du fisc
Il m'a dit que j'étais en retard avec mes déclarations
Il m'a fait vendre tous mes violons
Mais il faut en rire
J'ai perdu ma voiture dans un glissement de terrain
Ce n'était pas la dernière fois que j'ai pleuré
Mais quand les larmes commencent à couler
Il faut en rire

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
IL FAUT EN RIRE
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
IL FAUT EN RIRE
