Lyrics Ain't It the Truth [Reprise Outtake] - Cabin In The Sky, Lena Horne

Ain't It the Truth [Reprise Outtake]

Life is short brother
Ain’t it the truth?
And there is no other
Ain’t it the truth?
If you don’t love livin' you is slightly uncouth
Ain’t it the dignified truth?
Said that gal Du Barry
«Ain't it the truth?
Life is cash and carry
Ain’t it the truth?
You got to shake it down or stir up with vermouth
Ain’t it the practical truth?
Love is a ripplin' brook
Man is a fish to cook
You got to bait your hook;
Rise and shine
Cast your line!
You got to get your possum
Ain’t it the truth?
While you still in blossom
Ain’t it the truth?
Cleopatra and Delilah had it way over Ruth
Mmm, them gels did mighty swell
They sure did ring that bell!
Ain’t it the gospel truth?
It’s the truth, the truth
It’s the solid mellow truth!
