Life Don't Have To Mean Nothing At All |
Now if you want to be happy let me tell you how to do it |
You get up in the morning and you get right to it |
Bring home the bacon and make a little bread |
You get a little sleepy and you go back to bed. |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all |
Well if everybody says you’re a little too tall |
Go out and get yourself a basketball |
Dye your hair orange and put a ring in your ear |
You can make 47 million dollars a year |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all. |
Now if everybody says you’re a little too short |
Go out and get yourself a big ol' horse |
You can be a yockey if you got no fear |
You can make 47 million dollars a year. |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all |
Be good to your sinster and good to your brother |
Be good to your papa and good to your mother. |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all |
Now if you’re a con man lookin' for a pigeon |
Go out and start a brand new religion |
Get on TV and make a money request |
They can all go to heaven while you’re starving to death |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all. |
Now if everybody says you’re a little too rough |
Go out and get yourself some boxing gloves |
Beat up somebody around the ears |
You can make 47 million dollars a year. |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all |
Be good to your sinster and good to your brother |
You might even try to be good to one another. |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all |
Now if everybody says you’re a little too slick |
Get yourself into politics |
Get that office and get that power |
And you can spend 47 million dollars an hour |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all. |
Now if you can pick a guitar and sing through your nose |
Get yourself a bunch of those cowboy clothes |
Sing about dying and shedding them tears |
You can make 47 million dollars a year. |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all |
Don’t trouble your mind or worry your soul |
Bout stuff that you ain’t supposed to know. |
Life don’t have to mean nothing at all… |
