Ain't It the Truth |
Life is short short brother |
Ain’t it de truth? |
And there is no other |
Ain’t it de truth? |
You got to rock that rainbow |
While you still got your youth |
Ain’t it the solid truth? |
Was a guy named Adam |
Ain’t it the solid truth? |
Said «Now look here madam» |
Ain’t it de truth? |
«You got to bite that apple |
While you still got your tooth» |
Ain’t it the mellow truth? |
Lord gave us wine and gin |
To drown our troubles in |
What’s all this talk of sin? |
Rise and shine |
And fall in line |
Get that new religion |
Ain’t it de truth? |
'Fore you is dead pigeon |
Ain’t it de truth? |
'Cause when you laid horizontal |
In that telephone booth |
There’ll be no breathin' spell |
It’s only natural |
Ain’t it the gospel truth? |
Life is short short brother |
Ain’t it de truth? |
And there is no other |
Ain’t it de truth? |
So if you don’t love livin' |
Then you’re slightly uncouth |
Ain’t it the dignified truth? |
Said that gal DuBarry |
Ain’t it de truth? |
«Love is cash and carry |
Ain’t it de truth?» |
«You got to shake it down |
Or mix it up with vermouth» |
Ain’t it the visible, visible truth? |
Life is a ripplin' brook |
Man is a fish to cook |
You got to bait your hook |
Rise and shine |
And cast your line |
You got to get your possum |
Ain’t it de truth? |
While you still in blossom |
Ain’t it de truth? |
That went for Delilah |
Cleopatra and Ruth |
Them babes did mighty swell |
They rang that Jezebel |
Ain’t it the gospel truth? |
It’s the truth |
The truth |
It’s the solid |
Mellow truth |
