Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries
Embrace Life's Sweetness: A Bowl of Cherries Wisdom
Lyrics
People are queer, they're always crowing, scrambling and rushing about
People are unpredictable; they boast, struggle, and rush around.
Why don't they stop someday, address themselves this way?
Why don't they pause at some point and reflect on their lives?
Why are we here? Where are we going? It's time that we found out
Questioning the purpose of existence and the direction of life.
We're not here to stay; we're on a short holiday
We are transient; life is a brief vacation, not a permanent stay.
Life is just a bowl of cherries
Life is metaphorically likened to a bowl of cherries.
Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious
Advocates not taking life too seriously due to its inherent mystery.
You work, you save, you worry so
Despite working, saving, and worrying, material wealth cannot be taken beyond life.
But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go
Highlighting the futility of accumulating wealth beyond one's lifespan.
So keep repeating it's the berries
Encouraging the repetition of a positive mindset, saying life is excellent.
The strongest oak must fall
Emphasizing the inevitability of even the strongest individuals facing setbacks.
The sweet things in life, to you were just loaned
The enjoyable aspects of life are temporary loans, not permanent possessions.
So how can you lose what you've never owned?
Questioning the concept of loss when one never truly owned certain things.
Life is just a bowl of cherries
Reiterating the metaphor that life is akin to a bowl of cherries.
So live and laugh at it all
Encouraging living life to the fullest and finding humor in everything.
Life is just a bowl of cherries
Repeating the idea that life is not to be taken too seriously.
Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious
Stressing the mysterious and unpredictable nature of life.
At eight each morning I have got a date
Describing a daily routine, possibly highlighting its monotony.
To take my plunge 'round the Empire State
Engaging in an adventurous activity around the Empire State.
You'll admit it's not the berries
Sarcastically acknowledging that the routine is not particularly exciting.
In a building that's so tall
Observing a tall building, possibly symbolizing life's challenges.
There's a guy in the show, the girls love to kiss
Noting the allure of a performer in a show and their popularity.
Get thousands a week just for crooning like this
Highlighting the financial success of someone earning by singing.
Life is just a bowl of, aw, nuts!
Expressing a humorous twist, acknowledging life's unexpected turns.
So live and laugh at it all!
Encouraging a lighthearted approach to life, finding joy in laughter.
