(VERSE) () He () () stands () () towering () over (#bass) me beside my bed ()

() Then I () wonder should I laugh or cry () () () ()
(VERSE) He's (he's) dressed (dressed) in the striped pajamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives (gives) me (me) all 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
() fool's () pride in his () eyes
() Standing () there on his (#bass) toes to () grow in size() () ()

() So should I laugh or () cry ()
(VERSE) Strange (strange) how (how) dangerously indifferent I have grown
Cold as a stone
No (no) more (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
