Did you ever sit and ponder?
Sit and wonder?
Sit and think?
Why we're here and what this life is all about?
It's a problem that has driven many brainy men to drink
It's the weirdest thing they've tried to figure out
About a thousand different theories, all the scientists can show
But never yet have proved a reason why
With all we thought, and all we're taught, but all we seem to know:
Is we're born, we live a while, and then we die.
Life's is a very funny proposition, after all
Imagination, jealousy, hypocrisy, and all
Three meals a day, a whole lot to say,
When you haven't got the coin
You're always in the way
Everybody's fighting,
As we wend our way along
Every fellow claims the other fellow's in the wrong
Hurried and worried until we're buried and there's no curtain call
Life's a very funny proposition after all
When all things are coming easy
And when luck is with a man,
Why, then life to him is sunshine everywhere
Then, the fates blow rather breezy
And quite upset a plan
Then he'll cry that life's a burden hard to bear
Though today may be a day of smiles,
Tomorrow's still in doubt
And what brings me joy may bring you care and woe
We're born to die, but don't know why, or what it's all about
And the more we try to learn, the less we know
Life's a very funny proposition, you can bet
And no one's ever solved the problem properly, as yet
Young for a day, then old and gray,
Like the rose that buds and blooms
And fades and falls away
Losing health to gain our wealth,
As through this dream we tour
Everything's a guess
And nothing's absolutely sure
Battles exciting and fates we're fighting until the curtain falls
Life's a very funny proposition after all
