Go to work in the morning
Try and make a buck
Do everything you're told 
And you're still outta luck
It's one of life's little mysteries

You get a little sun
You get a little rain

Get a man and a woman
You get a little pain
It's one of life's little mysteries

Tell me why when I try
Just as hard as I can
I end up with nothin'
Once again

You get yourself a dog
You get yourself a cat
Watch 'em chase each other 
Around the laundromat
It's one of life's little mysteries

Tell me why when I try
Just as hard as I can
I end up with nothin'
Once again

Do all the things you should
You try to make a buck
You work a whole lifetime
You're still out of luck
It's one of life's little mysteries
Little mysteries
Little mysteries, oh-oh
