Here he comes
Mister Whiz
Sound the drums
Here he is
Raconteur
Bon vivant
Tell us, sir
What we want to know
The modus operandi
A dandy should use
When he is feeling low
When the winds are blowing
Yes?
That's the time to smile
Oh!
Learn how to laugh
Learn how to love
Learn how to live
That's my style
When the rent is owing
Yes?
What's the use of tears!
Oh!
I'd rather laugh
I'd rather love
I'd rather live
In arrears
Some fellows sweat to get to be millionaires
Some have a sport they're devotees of
Some like to be the champs
At saving postage stomps
Me, I like to live
Me, I like to laugh
Me, I like to love
Some like to sink and think in their easy chairs
Of all the things they've risen above
Some like to be profound
By reading Proust and Pound
Me, I like to live
Me, I like to laugh
Me, I like to love
Success is swell
And success is sweet
But every height has a drop
The less achievement
The less defeat
What's the point of shovin'
Your way to the top?
Live 'n' laugh 'n' love 'n'
You're never a flop
So when the walls are crumbling
Yes?
Don't give up the ship
No!
Learn how to laugh
Learn how to love
Learn how to live
That's my tip
When I hear the rumbling
Yes?
Do I lose my grip?
No!
I have to laugh
I have to love
I have to live
That's my trip
When the wind is blowing
That's the time to smile
When the rent is owing
Never lose your style
Some get a boot from shooting off cablegrams
Or buzzing bells to summon the staff
Some climbers get their kicks
From social politics
Me, I like to love
Me, I live...
Me, I like...
Me, I like...
I'm so sorry
Some break their asses passing their bar exams
Lay out their lives like lines on a graph
One day they're diplomats
Well, bully and congrats
Me, I like to love
Me, I like to live...
Me, I... Me, I...
Me, I like me
Me, I love me
Sorry, we'll have to stop
Stop, stop...
This is just...
We'll have to stop
This is just a mess
I'm sorry
I don't love me
I don't
Success is well
And success is sweet (Can you see it? Are you blind?)
But every height has a drop (I'm a fraud. It's all a trick.This is all a trick.)
The less achievement (You couldn't love me. No one could.)
The less defeat (You'd be a fool to trust me.)
What's the point of shovin' (All I do is...)
Your war to the top! (is hurt you and tell you lies)
What's the point of shovin' (I only wanted her until I had her)
Your war to the top! (After that the job was there...
Phyllis!
