Laughing Into 1939

Dm    C       Bb
Party hat and satin dress
F      C     F             A          Dm
Silver paper curled in her long black hair
        C         Bb              Gm    A
Tapping one small elegant shoe in time
Dm      C       Bb
Oh, the way she plays with them
F        C         F            A
Smile at one, then dance with another
Dm     C            Bb           A                      Dm C Bb A A
Pretty soon they're forming up a line

          Bb        C                Dm                 Bb  C Dm Dm
And she's laughing, laughing into 1939
    Bb        C                Dm                       Bb  C Dm Dm
Oh, laughing, laughing into 1939

        C         Bb                            Dm Dm C  Bb
Oh, the party draws them in
F  C            F
It breathes and moves
     A        Dm
To a life its own
       C         Bb            Gm    A
In its arms it's gathering all time
Dm       C       Bb
From the dark he watches her
F      C      F          A       Dm
Moving in and out of the bobbing crowd
       C    Bb                    A
If she even notices, she gives no sign

          Bb        C                Dm         Bb  C Dm Dm
And she's laughing, laughing into 1939
    Bb        C                Dm                       Bb  C Dm Dm
Oh, laughing, laughing into 1939
    C                     F
For tonight is New Year's Eve
                        Bb
Uncork your spirits and welcome it in
                    F
Who knows what it's got up its sleeve
                  Bb
Can't wait for it all to begin
F                          A
Stand by the girl with the purple balloon
    Dm                    G
The look in her eyes just lights up the room
       Bb
In the corner of her smile, she'll be seeing you soon
A
Under a mistletoe moon                          [instrumental break]
Dm     C      Bb        F        C        F             A        Dm
Out on to the balcony   Come the King and Queen And the crowd go wild
       C          Bb                      A
He's a little bit nervous But that's just fine

          Bb        C                Dm         Bb  C Dm Dm
And she's laughing, laughing into 1939
    Bb        C                Dm                       Bb  C Dm Dm
Oh, laughing, laughing into 1939
