Lena Horne - Ain't It De Truth lyrics

Life is short short brother Ain't it de truth? And there is no other Ain't it de truth? You got to rock that rainbow While you still got your youth Ain't it the solid truth? Was a guy named Adam Ain't it the solid truth? Said "Now look here madam" Ain't it de truth? "You got to bite that apple While you still got your tooth" Ain't it the mellow truth? Lord gave us wine and gin To drown our troubles in What's all this talk of sin? Rise and shine And fall in line Get that new religion Ain't it de truth? 'Fore you is dead pigeon Ain't it de truth? 'Cause when you laid horizontal In that telephone booth There'll be no breathin' spell It's only natural Ain't it the gospel truth? Life is short short brother Ain't it de truth? And there is no other Ain't it de truth? So if you don't love livin' Then you're slightly uncouth Ain't it the dignified truth? Said that gal DuBarry Ain't it de truth? "Love is cash and carry Ain't it de truth?" "You got to shake it down Or mix it up with vermouth" Ain't it the visible, visible truth? Life is a ripplin' brook Man is a fish to cook You got to bait your hook Rise and shine And cast your line You got to get your possum Ain't it de truth? While you still in blossom Ain't it de truth? That went for Delilah Cleopatra and Ruth Them babes did mighty swell They rang that Jezebel Ain't it the gospel truth? It's the truth The truth It's the solid Mellow truth
