Life Don't Have to Mean Nothin' at All

Now 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 You bring home the bacon and you make a little bread You get a little sleepy and you go back to bed Life don't have to mean nothin' at all If everybody says you're a little to tall Go out and get yourself a basketball Dye your hair orange and put a ring in your ear You can make forty seven million dollars a year Life don't have to mean nothin' at all If everybody says you're a little to short Go out and get yourself a big ol' horse You can be a jockey if you got no fear You can make forty seven 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 Be good to your poppa and good to your mother Life don't have to mean nothin' at all Now if you're a con man lookin' for a pigeon Go out and start a brand new religion Get on TV and make a money request 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 around the ears You can make fort y seven 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 Be good to your poppa and good to your mother Life don't have to mean nothin' at all Now if everybody says you're a little to slick Get yourself into politics Get that office and get that power And you can spend forty seven million dollars an hour Life don't have to mean nothin' at all Now if you can pick a guitar and sing through your nose Get yourself a bunchy of cowboy clothes Sing about dying and shedding them tears You can lose forty seven million dollars a year Life don't have to mean nothin' at all
