Laugh Again
You say you need to laugh again
and let your spirit fly
You say you need to quaff again
and act a bit cockeye
Then give over a further chance
and let your spirit try
Then give over a further stance
and don a Windsor tie
Later bring life to a great dream
and let your spirit sigh
Later bring life to a great gleam
and kiss upset good-by
Next undertake an added round
and let your spirit ply
Next undertake an added sound
and shout a battle cry
Lastly remember the wild card
and lift your spirit high
Lastly remember the vanguard
and dab every tear dry
