Life Don't Have To Mean Nothing At All

Now if you want to be happy let me tell you how to do it
You get up in the morning and you get right to it
Bring home the bacon and make a little bread
You get a little sleepy and you go back to bed
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Well if everybody says you're a little too tall
Go out and get yourself a basketball
Dye your hair orange and put a ring in your ear
You can make 47 million dollars a year
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Now if everybody says you're a little too short
Go out and get yourself a big ol' horse
You can be a yockey if you got no fear
You can make 47 million dollars a year
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Be good to your sinster and good to your brother
Be good to your papa and good to your mother
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Now if you're a con man lookin' for a pigeon
Go out and start a brand new religion
Get on TV and make a money request
They can all go to heaven while you're starving to death
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Now if everybody says you're a little too rough
Go out and get yourself some boxing gloves
Beat up somebody around the ears
You can make 47 million dollars a year
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Be good to your sinster and good to your brother
You might even try to be good to one another
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Now if everybody says you're a little too slick
Get yourself into politics
Get that office and get that power
And you can spend 47 million dollars an hour
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Now if you can pick a guitar and sing through your nose
Get yourself a bunch of those cowboy clothes
Sing about dying and shedding them tears
You can make 47 million dollars a year
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
Don't trouble your mind or worry your soul
Bout stuff that you ain't supposed to know
Life don't have to mean nothing at all
