One Life to Live

歌詞

There are many minds in circulation Believing in reincarnation In me you see One who doesn't agree Challenging possible affronts I believe I'll only live once And I want to make the most of it If there's a party, I want to be the host of it If there's a haunted house, I wanna be the ghost of it If I'm in town, I want to be the toast of it I say to me every morning You've only one life to live So why be done in? Let's let the sun in And gloom can jump in the riv' No use to beat on the doldrums Let's be imaginative Each day is numbered No good when slumbered With only one life to live Why let the goblins upset you? One smile and see how they run And what does worrying net you? Nothing! The thing Is to have fun All this may sound kind of hackneyed But it's the best I can give Soon comes December So please remember You've only one life to live Just one life to live She says to her every morning She's only one life to live So why be done in? Let's let the sun in And gloom can jump in the riv' What you collect at the grindstone Becomes a millstone in time This is my thesis Why go to pieces? Step up while you're in your prime Just laugh at Old Man Repression And send him into obliv' Then you're the winner I'm off to dinner I've only one life to live Just one life to live Miss Liza Elliott! There is no one on land or sea half as glamorous as she. Darling! How nice of you to come! Darling! How are you? Gentlemen, a toast! No, the toast! No, the toast of toasts! Liza Elliott!
