People are queer
they're always crowning
scrambling and rushing about
Why don't they stop someday
Adress Themselves this way?
Why are we here?
Where are we going?
It's Time That We Found Out
We're not here to stay,
We're on a short Holiday
Life is just a bowl of cherries
Don't take it serious
it's too mysterious
You work, you save, you worry so,
But you can't take your dough
when you go, go, go.
So keep repeating it's the berries
The strongest oak must fall
The sweet things in life
to you were just Loaned
So How can you lose
What You've never owned?
Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live and laugh at it all!
Life is just a bowl of cherries
Don't take it serious
it's too mysterious
At eight each morning
I have got a date
To take my plunge
'round the Empire State.
You'll admit it's not the berries
In a building that's so tall. . .
There's a guy in the show
The Girls Like to Kiss
Gets thousands a week
just for crooning like this:
Life is just a bowl of . . . aw, nuts!
So live and laugh at it all!
