[00:13.10] "Did you ever sit and ponder,
[00:15.14]
[00:15.39] Sit and wonder, sit and think,
[00:18.08]
[00:18.33] Why we're here and what this life is all about?
[00:23.61]
[00:23.86] It's a problem that has driven
[00:25.78]
[00:26.03] Many brainy men to drink,
[00:28.90]
[00:29.15] It's the weirdest thing they've tried to figure out.
[00:34.79]
[00:35.04] About a thousand diff'rent theories
[00:37.35]
[00:37.60] All the scientists can show,
[00:40.48]
[00:40.73] But never yet have proved a reason why
[00:46.26]
[00:46.51] With all we've thought
[00:47.64]
[00:47.89] And all we're taught,
[00:49.33]
[00:49.58] Why all we seem to know,
[00:51.79]
[00:52.04] Is we're born, and live a while and then we die.
[00:58.29]
[00:58.54] Refrain 1
[00:58.62]
[00:58.87] Life's a very funny proposition after all,
[01:03.94]
[01:04.19] Imagination, jealousy, hypocrisy and all.
[01:09.82]
[01:10.07] Three meals a day, a whole lot to say;
[01:15.40]
[01:15.65] When you haven't got the coin you're always in the way.
[01:23.34]
[01:23.59] Ev'rybody's fighting as we wend our way along,
[01:28.63]
[01:28.88] Ev'ry fellow claims the other fellow's in the wrong;
[01:34.68]
[01:34.93] Hurried and worried until we're buried and there's no curtain call.
[01:41.04]
[01:41.29] Life's a very funny proposition after all.
[01:47.91]
[01:48.16] Verse 2
[01:54.22]
[01:54.47] When all things are coming easy, and when luck is with a man,
[01:59.07]
[01:59.32] Why then life to him is sunshine ev'rywhere;
[02:05.02]
[02:05.27] Then the fates blow rather breezy and they quite upset a plan,
[02:10.76]
[02:11.01] Then he'll cry that life's a burden hard to bear.
[02:16.43]
[02:16.68] Though today may be a day of smiles, tomorrow's still in doubt,
[02:22.14]
[02:22.39] And what brings me joy, may bring you care and woe;
[02:27.89]
[02:28.14] We're born to die, but don't know why, or what it's all about,
[02:33.32]
[02:33.57] And the more we try to learn the less we know.
[02:39.58]
[02:39.83] Refrain 2
[02:40.12]
[02:40.37] Life's a very funny proposition, you can bet,
[02:45.82]
[02:46.07] And no one's ever solved the problem properly as yet.
[02:51.50]
[02:51.75] Young for a day, then old and gray;
[02:57.60]
[02:57.85] Like the rose that buds and blooms and fades and falls away,
[03:05.60]
[03:05.85] Losing health to gain our wealth as through this dream we tour.
[03:10.92]
[03:11.17] Ev'rything's a guess and nothing's absolutely sure;
[03:17.08]
[03:17.33] Battles exciting and fates we're fighting until the curtain falls.
[03:23.62]
[03:23.87] Life's a very funny proposition after all.
