Nothing Is As Good As They Say It Is
Nothing is as good as they say it is
That's the way it is
I wish I'd known beforehand
I was born just 22 hours ago
But I want to go
Back to my former quarters
Mama, mama, can you accommodate?
Mama, mama, tell me I'm not too late
Mama, mama, can you cooperate?
This will not work, I'm sure
Nothing is as good as they say it is
And I'd be remiss
If I weren't honest with you
This is not a place that I can exist
Not ungratefulness
I just don't want this, want this
Mama, mama, is there a remedy?
Can I just go back where I used to be?
I was happy where I was previously
Just floating there, stood tall
Mama, mama, please sympathize
This has been such a bad surprise
I won't ask any more from you
I can live with a lousy view
Nothing is as good as they say it is
That's the way it is
I wish I'd known beforehand
I was born just 22 hours ago
But I've seen enough
To make a wise decision
All your standards must be so very low
This is not a place that I'd want to go
How can you exist in a place like this?
I surely can't
Oh, no
Take a look around and you'd understand
This is not a place I could ever stand
Ugliness, anxiety, phony tans
It ain't for me
That's all
Thank you both for this special chance
Where I was born in the south of France
I would be less resistant to
Somewhere that just deserves adieu
Nothing is as good as they say it is
That's the way it is
I wish I'd known beforehand
Nothing is as good as they say it is
That's the way it is
I wish I'd known beforehand
All your standards must be so very low
This is not a place that I'd want to go
How can you exist in a place like this?
I surely can't
Oh, no
Nothing is as good as they say it is
Nothing is as good as they say it is
That's the way it is
I wish I'd known beforehand
I was born just 22 hours ago
But I want to go
Back to my former quarters
Mama, mama, can you accommodate?

Nothing is as good as they say it is
