george m. cohan - life's a funny proposition after all lyrics

(verse 1)
did you ever sit and ponder
sit and wonder, sit and think
why we’re here and what this life is all about?
it’s a problem that has driven
many brainy men to drink
it’s the weirdest thing they’ve tried to figure out
about a thousand diff’rent theories
all the scientists can show
but never yet have proved a reason why
with all we’ve thought
and all we’re taught
why all we seem to know
is we’re born, live a while, then we die

(chorus 1)
life’s a very funny proposition after all
imagination, jealousy, hypocrisy and all
three meals a day
a whole lot to say;
when you haven’t got the coin, you’re always in the way
ev’rybody’s fighting as we wend our way along
ev’ry fellow claims the other fellow’s in the wrong;
hurried and worried
until we’re buried
and there’s no curtain call
life’s a very funny proposition after all
(verse 2)
when all things are coming easy
and when luck is with a man
why then life to him is sunshine ev’rywhere;
then the fates blow rather breezy
they quite upset a plan
then he’ll cry that life’s a burden hard to bear
though today may be a day of smiles, tomorrow’s still in doubt
and what brings me joy, may bring you care and woe;
we’re born to die, but don’t know why, or what it’s all about
and the more we try to learn the less we know

(chorus 2)
life’s a very funny proposition, you can bet
and no one’s ever solved the problem properly as yet
young for a day
then old and gray;
like the rose that buds and blooms and fades and falls away
losing health
to gain our wealth
as through this dream we tour
ev’rything’s a guess and nothing’s absolutely sure;
battles exciting and fates we’re fighting until the curtain falls
life’s a very funny proposition after all
