We Won’t Forget That

we won't forget that
that we laughed, laughed that
much I'll never forget that
that we laughed that much, will we?
and we'll never forget be-
cause we laughed that much and
won't forget my God how much we laughed
and not and never forget that we laughed so
much because we were together
and laughed so much
we'll never forget that
