Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries

Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries - Ethel Merman

Life is just a bowl of cherries

Don't take it serious it's too mysterious

You work you save and 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 never owned

Life is just a bowl of cherries

So laugh and last at it all

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

And 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

It's not serious life's too mysterious

You work you save and 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 never owned

Life is just a bowl of cherries

So live and laugh at it all
