Life should ba a film One of those foreign films Where people are always talking And you just can't understand But it means a lot Life should be a book A really, really good book That you take when you travel And hope it never ends And you read again Life should be a poetry, A pretty pretty tree Where words have their meanings To help you understand And say what you mean You're giving me a stomach ache When you negotiate You're giving me a stomach ache When you try and set me straight Life should be a song One of those sixties songs With lots of catchy phrases That everybody knows So you can sing along Life should be a poetry, A pretty pretty tree Where words have their meanings To help you understand And say what you mean You're giving me a stomach ache When you negotiate And when you set me straight You're giving me a stomach ache Life should be a tree, a poetry tree
