Life is just a bowl of cherries Don't make it serious, it's too mysterious You work, you save, you worry so But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go Keep repeating, "It's the berries" The strongest oak must fall The best things in life to you were just loaned So how can you lose what you never have owned? Life is just a bowl of cherries So live and laugh at it all Keep repeating, "It's the berries" The strongest oak must fall The sweet things in life to you were just loaned So how can you lose what you never have owned? Life is just a bowl of cherries So live and laugh at it all So when you get a bucket full of big red cherries You can live it up Yes, and laugh at it all
