[Em] Oh, what's the [D] use of living [C] if you never [D] learn to laugh?
Why, look at [Am] me, I grub [C] down among the [D] riff and raff
[C] But you won't catch me glooming [G] round without a [Em] hint of smile
[C] And if I [D] have to do a thing, I do it right [G] with style

[Em] Climbed to the yard [Am] to find a watchman, [C] wouldn't you just know?
But in the dark he took me for [G] a demon, I [Em] would bet
[C] Cause when I howled [D] and went for him, I [C] think he's running [G] yet

[C] Until I [A] looked into her eyes, [Am] and now the [G] joke's on me
