Ain't It de Truth?

作曲：Harold Arlen

作词：E.Y. Harburg

Life is short short brother

Ain't it the truth

And there is no other

Ain't it the truth

You've got to grab that rainbow

While you still got your youth

Oh ain't it the solid truth

Was a man called adam

Ain't it the truth

Said now look here madam

Ain't it the truth

You've got bite that apple

While you still got that tooth

Well ain't it the mellow truth

Long as there's wine and gin

To drown your troubles in what's all this talk of sin

Rise and shine and fall in line

Get that new religion

Ain't it the truth

Boy you is dead pigeon

Ain't it the truth

For when you laid a horizontal

In that telephone booth

Well there'll be no breathing spell

That's only natural

Ain't it the gossip pale truth

Life is short short brother

Ain't it the truth

And there is no other

Ain't it the truth

So if you don't love living you is slightly uncouth

Oh ain't it the dignified truth

Said that gal duberry

Ain't it the truth

Love is cash and kerry

Ain't it the truth

You've got to shake it down or stir it up with a moof

Well ain't it the flexible truth

Life is a rippling brook

Man is a fish to cook

Go on and bait your hook

Rise and shine and fall in line

Better get your possum

Ain't it the truth

Why you still in blossom

Ain't it the truth cleopatra

And delilah had it way over roof

Well then goes it mighty swell

They ring that jezebel ain't it the gossip hell true
