Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries Songtext
von Alma Cogan

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?
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
Don′t be so serious
Life′s too mysterious
You work, you save, you worry so
But you can't take your dough
When you go, go, go


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've never owned?

Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live and laugh at it all

Life is just a bowl of cherries
Don′t be so serious
Life's too mysterious
You work, you save, you worry so
But you can′t take your dough
When you go, go, go

Oh, keep repeating "it's the berries"
The strongest oak must fall
The sweet things in life
To you were only just loaned
So how can you lose
The things that you've never owned?

Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live, love
Thank your lucky stars above
Live and love and laugh at it all
