The Laughing Cavalier

A dashing, dandy man
Takes humble-minded girl
And leads her by the hand
And tries to drag her into his own world
Her plans unfurl

He's laughing
He's laughing

A wicked, greedy grin
And brow so slightly arched
The petal taken in
By bawdy stories full of blood and thunder from his past
His empty glass

But drinking into stupor
Boy, he could really lose her
And he's squinting through the whisky fug
The drink will force his pleasure
And all the while she's tethered
Straining at her bonds

He's laughing
Laughing
Laughing
Laughing
