Laughing Boy - Carmen McRae
Written by:Jack Segal
People call him laughing boy
He's always got a smile on his face
And just because he's laughing boy
Folks invite him out every place
He never seems to have a care
They call him character and clown
He's always got a laugh
To share with anyone in town
But I'm a friend of laughing boy
And there is something you ought to know
Someone took his dreams apart
And broke his heart long time ago
He doesn't like to be alone
It's not hard to realize
He plays the part of laughing boy
But when he's alone he cries
He doesn't like to be alone
It's not hard to realize
He plays the part of laughing boy
But when he's alone he cries
When he's alone he cries
