(Cy Coleman, Joseph Allen McCarthy)

I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,

Laugh, and forget this affair

Guess I was foolish

To care.

So I'm gonna dance you right out of my dreams,

Try to be carefree and gay

I guess I'll learn to play

The part.

'Cause when our friends begin that

Heartless rumor,

I know I'll really need my

Sense of humor.

I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,

Make it a beautiful joke.

No one will know you broke

My heart.

But if I find you and I

Really meant that last goodbye,

Then I'm gonna laugh so hard,

I'll cry.

~interlude~

But if I find you and I

Really meant that last goodbye,

Then I'm gonna laugh so hard...

I'll cry.
