Count Basie - Ain't It the Truth? lyrics

Life is short brother Ain't it the truth? And there is no other Ain't it the truth? If you don't love livin' you is slightly uncouth Ain't it the dignified truth? Said that gal Du Barry "Ain't it the truth? Life is cash and carry Ain't it the truth? You got to shake it down or stir up with vermouth Ain't it the practical truth? Love is a ripplin' brook Man is a fish to cook You got to bait your hook; Rise and shine Cast your line! You got to get your possum Ain't it the truth? While you still in blossom Ain't it the truth? Cleopatra and Delilah had it way over Ruth Mmm, them gels did mighty swell They sure did ring that bell! Ain't it the gospel truth? It's the truth, the truth It's the solid mellow truth!
