ABBA — Should I Laugh or Cry

[Intro] "Noll... ett, två, tre" [Verse 1] 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? [Verse 2] He's dressed in the striped pyjamas that I bought Trousers too short Gives me of his small philosophy Carries on the way he does, and me I get so tired And I wonder, should I laugh or cry? [Chorus] 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...) All I see is a big balloon Halfway up to the moon He's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon Of an eternal lie So should I laugh or cry? [Verse 3] 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? [Chorus] 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...) All I see is a big balloon Halfway up to the moon He's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon Of an eternal lie So should I laugh or cry?
