Joe Jackson - Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries текст песни

People are queer, theyre always crowing, scrambling and rushing about;

Why dont they stop someday, address themselves this way?

Why are we here? where are we going? its time that we found out.

Were not here to stay; were on a short holiday.

Life is just a bowl of cherries.

Dont take it serious; its too mysterious.

You work, you save, you worry so,

But you cant take your dough when you go, go, go.

So keep repeating its the berries,

The strongest oak must fall,

The sweet things in life, to you were just loaned

So how can you lose what youve never owned?

Life is just a bowl of cherries,

So live and laugh at it all.

Life is just a bowl of cherries.

Dont take it serious; its too mysterious.

At eight each morning I have got a date,

To take my plunge round the empire state.

Youll admit its not the berries,

In a building thats so tall;

Theres a guy in the show, the girls love to kiss;

Get thousands a week just for crooning like this:

Life is just a bowl of . . . aw, nuts!

So live and laugh at it all!
