Laughing Jackie smiled so sweet
He ran the girls who worked our street
They worked all day and night to put
Diamond cufflinks on his shirt
With his silver-handled walking stick
Jackie never missed a trick
Laughing Jackie
Handsome in his tailored suit
Laughing Jackie
Always in a pleasant mood
ย
Laughing Jackie, never mad
When a cutie stashed a wad
See his cane, it spins and twirls
Laughing as he beats the girls
If he got a broken one
There's always more where that came from
Laughing Jackie
The bus station runaways
Laughing Jackie
They all wound up at Jackie's place
ย
Then one day the Russians came
To put a stake in Jackie's claim
Jackie thought he could resist
Oh, that's a trick that Jackie missed
ย
Jackie bang your little tin cup
Hoping for a coin to drop
The Russians beat you with your stick
But Jackie don't you look so sick
Isn't it every pimp's ambition
To one day become a musician?
Laughing Jackie
With his funny, wired-up, broken jaw
Laughing Jackie
He's not laughing anymore
