[Verse 1] There was an old man in the back of the room With twenty long knives hidin' in his shoes All of the town Could hear his crazed laughter [Verse 2] His teeth were all twisted and so were his feet He took to great dancing out in the street Oh What a treat To hear his crazed laughter [Chorus] They said they could hear it All over town All of the wicked ass Wanderers could be found All of 'em sweethearts Would gather around To hear his crazed laughter [Verse 3] The lost and the dirty and wicked and damned Came with their guitars and drums in their hands To see that ol' man And hear his crazed laughter [Verse 4] The time was upon him His time for to die When the last breath he took you should've heard his sigh They raised up their eyes And heard his crazed laughter [Chorus] They said they could hear it All over town All of the wandererers Gathered around All of 'em sweethearts Could be found To hear his crazed laughter [Bridge]
