Gershwin George Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries lyrics

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; life`s so 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!
