Life is only a moving picture Nothing in life is a permanent fixture Oh no oh oh no Black girls, white girls oh what a mixture Looking as pretty as a picture Oh no oh oh no We live, we die no one knows why We come, we go we see the show And it's always moving, always moving Life is only a moving picture Oh, life can sometimes not be very nice But then you make your choice so you must pay the price You take the good and bad 'cos life's all work and play And it soon fades away Oh no oh oh no Life is only what you make out So make the verses rhyme and all the pieces fit There isn't any time to make much sense of it It soon fades away Oh no oh oh no Life is only a moving picture Nothing in life is a permanent fixture Oh no oh oh no We live, we die no one knows why We come, we go we see the show And it's always moving, always moving Look at all those moving pictures Nothing in life is a permanent fixture Oh no oh oh no It's only moving, only moving, only moving pictures
