0:03You can keep the good times righteousness
0:08The best parting line
0:10Rather then pretend we are A-1 ultrafine
0:18Shall I be the first then to say what we have found
0:25There's something in our lifetime won't let us settle down
0:33Darlin' it's a life of surprises
0:38It's no help growing older or wiser
0:44You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'
0:49When it's even in the way that you're walkin'
0:57Never let your conscience be harmful to your health
1:04Let no neurotic impulse turn inward on itself
1:12Just say that you were happy as happy would allow
1:20And tell yourself that will have to do for now
1:27Darlin' it's a life of surprises
1:32It's no help growing older or wiser
1:38You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'
1:44When it's even in the way that you're walkin' baby talkin'
2:03Never say you're bitter Jack
2:09Bitter makes the worst things come back
2:15Darlin' it's a life of surprises
2:21It's no help growing older or wiser
2:27You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'
2:32When it's even in the way that you're walkin' baby talkin'
2:52Never say you're bitter Jack
2:57Bitter makes the worst things come back
3:04Darlin' it's a life of surprises
3:09It's no help growing older or wiser
3:15You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'
3:20When it's even in the way that you're walkin'
3:26Darlin' it's a life of surprises
3:32It's no help growing older or wiser
3:37You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'
3:43When it's even in the way that you're walkin'
3:49Darlin' it's a life of surprises
