They said it was over
So who's laughin now
See I made a comeback
I'm takin another bow
Just like the xylophone
Fondue and zen
Everything out of date
Is brand new again
They thought I was cactus
Who's laughin now
If you're down on your luck
You can't find the stars
Ain't no life for a showman
Used to the finest cigars
When it seemed that
All hope had gone
Along came a miracle
Number one song
They called me a lounge act
Who's laughin now
I learned a few lessons
When I went astray
Gotta stay sharp to keep
Those hellhounds at bay
Every sinful thing
I hankered to do
Was slowly killin me
And even my retinue
They said it was over
Hey put away the shroud
I'm ridin that big wave
Slayin a modern crowd
Just like kodachrome
Eight track and pool
Everything old and tired
Is red hot and cool
Thought I was cactus
Who's laughin now"
