Go On, Have a Laugh

Go On, Have a Laugh lyrics

Verse 1

Saturday, half twelve, the sun's out, I'm in a good top
And Jo's got her hands flat on the table like she's about to read me the news
Deb's got that face. The head-tilt. The "we're worried" face
They've sat me down at the pub to talk about my drinking
And him. Both. Bundled together, like a meal deal
So I say, lovely, who's getting these in
And I go to the bar, because I'm the one with a plan

Pre-Chorus

I can see you all looking
I can see you all counting

Chorus

Go on, have a laugh
(ha ha, go on)
I'm back with a round and a bag of dry roasted
Go on, have a laugh
(she's having another)
Yes I rang him Thursday, yes I said I wouldn't
Go on, have a laugh
(ha ha, go on)
I know what it looks like, I was there, I did it
Go on, have a laugh
(she's having another)

Verse 2

Deb says I cancelled on her twice, and she's right, I did
Jo says I cried in the loos at her birthday, and I did that too
I'd like it noted I tipped the lady who handed me tissues
You say I'm drinking to forget him, love
I'm drinking to remember why I'm fine, and it's not working, is it
I'm good at a punchline, me. Quick on my feet
But I'm not laughing. I haven't been, for a bit
And you can all see that, and that's why we're here

Pre-Chorus

So go on, say it
I'll hold the glass

Chorus

Go on, have a laugh
(ha ha, go on)
I'm the funny one, it's the only job I've kept
Go on, have a laugh
(she's having another)
But Jo, you passed me a napkin and you didn't say a word
Go on, have a laugh
(ha ha, go on)
And I clocked that, I did
Go on, have a laugh
(she's having another)

Bridge

(sax, piano, ooh, ooh)
He's not even that tall
Did I say that? He's not that tall
(ooh, ooh)
Sit down, Deb. I'm only joking
I'm only joking

Chorus

Go on, have a laugh
(ha ha, go on)
I'll think about Tuesday, I'll think about the doctor
Go on, have a laugh
(she's having another)
But not today, it's sunny, and you're all here
Go on, have a laugh
(ha ha, go on)
Go on, have a laugh
(she's having another)

Outro

Go on
Have a laugh
I'll get the next one
Well. Maybe a water
