Ray Henderson - Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries lyrics

[Verse 1] People are queer, they're always crowding 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 [Chorus] Life is just a bowl of cherries Don't take it serious, it's too mysterious You work, you save, you worry so But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go [Verse 2] So 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? [Chorus] Life is just a bowl of cherries So live and laugh at it all [Bridge] An imitation of Willie Howard, singing his chorus in the show [Chorus] Life is just a bowl of cherries Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious [Verse 3] At eight each morning I have got a date To take my plunge 'round the Empire State You'll admit it's not the berries In a building that's so tall There's a guy in the show, the girls love to kiss Get thousands a week just for crooning like this [Outro] Life is just a bowl of, aw, nuts! So live and laugh at it all!
