The Secret of Life
Couple of guys sittin' 'round drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of them says "You know I've been thinking"
Other one says "That won't get you too far"
He says "This is your life, and welcome to it"
"It's just working and drinking and dreams"
"Ad on TV says just do it"
"Hell,if I know what that means"
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is a beautiful woman
Marilyn stares down from the bar room wall
You and me, we're just a couple of zeros
Just a couple of down and outs
But movie stars and football heroes
What do they got to be unhappy about,yeah
So they turn to the bartender
"Sam, what do you think"
"What's the key that unlocks that door?"
Sam don't say nothing, just wipes off the bar
And he pours them a couple more
'Cause the secret of life is in Sam's martinis
The secret of life is in Marilyn's eyes
The secret of life is in Monday Night Football
Rolling Stones records
Mom's apple pies
Sam looks up from his Sunday paper
Says "boys, you're on the wrong track"
"The secret of life is there ain't no secret"
"And you don't get your money back"
Hey, the secret of life is getting up early
The secret of life is staying up late
The secret of life is to try not to hurry
But don't wait,don't wait
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is to find the right woman
The secret of life is nothing at all
Oh, it's nothing at all
Oh,the secret of life
Couple of guys sittin' 'round drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of them says "You know I've been thinking"
Other one says "That won't get you too far"
That won't get you too far
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of them says "You know I've been thinking"
