The Secret Of Life

Couple of guys sittin´ around drinkin´ down at the starlight bar
One of ´em says, you know i been thinkin´- other one says that won´t get you too far
He say this is your life and welcome to it - it´s just workin´ and drinkin´ and dreams
Ad on the tv says "just do it " - hell if i know what that means
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is a beautiful woman
And marilyn stares down from the barroom wall . . .
You and me, we´re just a couple of zeroes- just a couple of down-and-outs
But movie stars and football heroes - what´ve they got to be unhappy about?
So they turn to the bartender, " sam what do you think - what´s the key that unlocks that door?
Sam don´t say nothin´, he just wipes down the bar and he pours ´em a couple more
Cause the secret of life is in sam´s martinis
The secret of life is in mrilyn eyes
The secret of life is in mondey night football
And rolling stones records and mom´s apple pies
Sam looks up from his sunday paper - he says boys you´re on the wrong track
The secret of life is there ain´t no secret and you don´t get your money back
The secret of life is gettin´ up early
The secret of life is stayin´up late
The secret of life is try not to hurry
But don´t wait, don´t wait . . .
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is to find the right woman
The secret of life is nothin´at all
