Couple of guys
sittin' around drinkin'
Down at the
Starlight Bar
One of 'em 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 workin'
and drinkin'
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
And 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 have they got
to be unhappy about?"
So they turn
to the bartender
"Sam what do
you think?
What's the key that
unlocks that door?"
Sam don't say nothin'
just wipes off the bar
and he pours them
a couple more
'Cause the secret of life
is in Sam's Martini's
The secret of life
is in Marilyn's eyes
The secret of life
is in Monday Night
Football
Rolling Stones records
and 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 gettin' up early
the secret of life
is stayin' up late
The secret of life
is 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 nothin' at a.....ll
Oh it's nothin' at all
The secret of life
