Artist/Band: Ethel Merman
Lyrics for Song: Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries
Lyrics for Album: Cocktail Hour: Ethel Merman [2005]



People are queer, they're always crowing, scrambling and rushing about


Why don't they stop someday, address 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 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!
