There was this guy, he was down on his luck |
|
He was truly poverty's child |
|
Well, he had no home and he had no car |
|
And he wore a weary smile |
|
Moved out to |
|
L.A., knocked around for a while |
|
But he was goin' nowhere |
|
Then he did this movie and it did really well |
|
Now he's a millionaire |
|
You see life |
|
Is a curious thing, yea |
|
You see life |
|
Ooh life, is a curious thing |
|
I know a man who could paint the town red |
|
Had a college degree in fun |
|
Till the doorbell rang and a long lost flame said"This little boy is your son" |
|
Gave him a suitcase and a bear |
|
And left them in a cloud of dust |
|
Now he's checkin' out schools and drivin' car pools |
|
Learnin' to adjust |
|
He says life |
|
Is a curious thing, yea |
|
You see life |
|
Ooh life, is a curious thing |
|
Well I know that it can be demanding |
|
I know that it can be unkind |
|

|
I knewA pudgy girl back in school |
|
She had greasy hair and geeky glasses |
|
Object of ridicule |
|
The other day in the check out line |
|
They were ringin' up my rice and beans, huh |
|
There she was just a pretty little face |
|
On the cover of a magazine |
|
Hmm, and I said life |
