He stands towering over me beside my bed Losing his head Tells me I must take him seriously Droning on the usual way He's such a clever guy Then I wonder Should I Laugh Or Cry
He's dressed in the striped pajamas that I bought Trousers too short Gives me all his small philosophy Carries on the way he does And me I get so tired And I wonder Should I Laugh Or Cry
High and mighty his banner flies A fool's pride in his eyes Standing there on his toes to grow in size All I see is a big balloon Halfway up to the moon He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon Of an eternal lie So Should I Laugh Or Cry
Strange how dangerously indifferent I have grown Cold as a stone No more pain where there was pain before Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry And I wonder Should I Laugh Or Cry
I don't mind if his banner flies A fool's pride in his eyes Standing there on his toes to grow in size All I see is a big balloon Halfway up to the moon He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon Of an eternal lie So should I laugh or cry?
