Why Bother? |
| Oh, human history is a sordid affair |
| Often I say to myself, «Oh this is horrible |
| Man’s inhumanity to man. |
| It’s just awful, it’s…» |
| Oh, why bother? |
| Why bother, why bother, why bother? |
| I try to be rosy |
| I try to be upbeat |
| Life is real, life is earnest |
| Sing Polly Wolly doodle all day |
| I try to look on the bright side of things and yet |
| When confronted with the truth |
| I have to say |
| Why bother? |
| Maybe I’ll get a lift |
| Why bother? |
| Maybe I’ll get a job |
| Why bother? |
| Maybe I’ll get a new car |
| Why bother? |
| Maybe I’ll empty an ashtray |
| Why bother? |
| It’s so hard to keep your ears clean |
| Why bother? |
| There ar millions of wonderful piano players in the world |
| Listn to the chump I got |
| Why bother? |
| You know, modern painting is supposed to be the panacea for all the ills of |
| modern life |
| And yet everyone still buys the painting that matches the couch |
| Why bother? |
| Do you know that the only museum in Las Vegas is run by Liberace? |
| Why bother? |
| France — the country that gave us Renoir, Manet, Monet, Van Gogh, |
| Gauguin — has hailed Jerry Lewis as a genius… |
| Why bother? |
| Calvin Klein wears his own jeans |
| His own underwear |
| His own cologne |
| I still wouldn’t fuck him |
| I said «Calvin, why bother?» |
| I have a star named after me on Hollywood Boulevard |
| It’s under a fire hydrant |
| Why bother? |
| I got a new haircut |
| I have to put a lotta mousse on it to make it look like anything |
| I got a terrible case of dandruff |
| My doctor said I was suffering from «mousse abuse» |
| Why bother? |
| Dr Ruth… |
| Why bother? |
| There are 88 keys on that piano |
| That motherfucker knows five |
| Why bother? |
| Halley’s Comet comes once every 76 years |
| So do I |
| Why bother? |
| I fasted for 25 days |
| I took a high colonic every day |
| I lost 3 pounds |
| My Enemist said, «Why bother?» |
| You ever read the LA Weekly? |
| You ever notice how many ads for high colonics they have? |
| Is this town that full of shit? |
| Why bother? |
| Is this what T.S. |
| Eliot meant by |
| «the hollow men» |
| «the stuffed men» |
| Or did he only mean… |
| «Why bother?» |
