It's a funny old world
Doesn't time fly?
Sometimes you gotta laugh
Otherwise you're gonna cry
Sometimes you gotta whisper
Sometimes you gotta yell
Sometimes you just smile and say
It's a funny old world
She said live a little, love a little, laugh a lot
The world's still here, so far it hasn't stopped
It just keeps moving and rolling on its axis
The moon is in focus orbiting around it
The moon affects the oceans and the oceans make the beaches
And once upon a time we were all just fishes
And one day one of 'em made it onto land
Slowly but surely turned into a man
Now here I am three billion years later
Waiting in the queue at my local Pret a Manger
Wondering what on earth are the chances
Marvelling over the choice of pastries
The girl behind the counter asks if she can help
While I'm daydreaming about life itself
I said "Don't mind me, help yourself
You gotta reach into your heart and find it girl
Because in your soul lies the secret to the universe"
She said "Do you want it in small, medium or large?"
It's a funny old world
It's a rollercoaster ride
Smile for the camera
Keep your arms inside
Keep your eye on the horizon
Keep your feet on the ground
And keep on smiling 'cause
It's a funny old world
And where do you think we're gonna be three billion years from now?
When the robots kill the humans and continue to evolve
Artificial intelligence ventures into space
And survives a lot longer than this solar system does
They understand black holes, space and time continuum
Computers that are cleverer than we could ever comprehend
They are alive, invented by humans
But they invented their own language and deemed us insignificant
Three billion years from now with fifteen gig of memory
Sitting on a hard drive in the arse end of the galaxy
The girl behind the counter hands me a cup of tea
And I snap out of my futuristic fantasy
I ask if I could have a splash of almond milk
You know me, I like to do my bit
It's a funny old world
It's a steak and kidney pie
Take the rough with the smooth
Gotta swallow every bite
Sometimes you get lonely
But don't stand in the cold
Come in, come on, smile and say
It's a funny old world
It's a funny old world
Doesn't time fly?
Sometimes you gotta laugh
Otherwise you're gonna cry
Sometimes you gotta whisper
Sometimes you gotta yell
Sometimes you just smile and say
It's a funny old world
