Lyrics
Life Don't Have To Mean Nothin' At All
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Then you get a little sleepy and you go back to bed
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Now if everybody says you're a little too tall
Go out and get yourself a basketball
Dye your hair orange put a ring in your ear
And you could make 47 million dollars a year
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Now if everybody says you're a little too short
Go and get yourself a big old horse
You can be a jocky if you got no fear
And you could make 47 million dollars a year
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Be good to your sister and good to your brother
Good to your dad and good to your mother
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Now if you're a con man looking for a piegon
Go out and start a brand new religion
Get on TV and make a money request
And they can all go to heaven
While they're starvin' to death
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Now if everybody says you're a little too rough
Go out and get yourself some boxing gloves
Beat somebody up and around the ears
And you could make 47 million dollars a year
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Be good to your sister and good to your brother
You might even try to be good to one another
Life don't have to mean nothin' 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 could make 47 million dollars an hour
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Now if you can play guitar
And sing through your nose
Get yourself a bunch of them cowboy clothes
Sing about dyin' and shedding them tears
And you could make 47 dollars a year
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
Don't worry about your mind or trouble your soul
And stuff that you aint supposed to know
Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
