Audra McDonald - Ain't It de Truth?

Текст песни

Life is short, short, brother
Ain’t it the truth?
And there is no other
Ain’t it the truth?
You got to grab that rainbow
While you still got your youth
Oh, ain’t it the Solomon truth?
Was a guy named Adam
Ain’t it the truth?
Said, «Now look here, madam»
Ain’t it the truth?
«You got to bite that apple
While you still got your tooth»
Well, ain’t it the mellow truth?
Long as there’s wine and gin
To drown our 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?
'Fore you is dead pigeon
Ain’t it the truth?
For when you laid horizontal
In that telephone booth
Well, there’ll be no breathin' spell
That only natural
Ain’t it the gospel 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 livin'
You is slightly uncouth
Oh, ain’t it the dignified truth?
Said that gal DuBarry
Ain’t it the truth?
«Love is cash and carry»
Ain’t it the truth?
«You got to shake it down
Or mix it up with vermouth»
Well, ain’t it the flexible truth?
Life is a ripplin' brook
Man is a fish to cook
Go on and bait your hook
Rise and shine, and fall line
Better get your possum
Ain’t it the truth?
While you still in blossom
Ain’t it the truth?
Cleopatra and Delilah
Had it way over Ruth
Well, them gals did mighty swell
They rang that Jezebel
Ain’t it the gospel truth?
