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
