Life's a funny proposition, after all

"Did you ever sit and ponder,

Sit and wonder, sit and think,

Why we're here and what this life is all about?

It's a problem that has driven

Many brainy men to drink,

It's the weirdest thing they've tried to figure out.

About a thousand diff'rent theories

All the scientists can show,

But never yet have proved a reason why

With all we've thought

And all we're taught,

Why all we seem to know,

Is we're born, and live a while and then we die.

Refrain 1

Life's a very funny proposition after all,

Imagination, jealousy, hypocrisy and all.

Three meals a day, a whole lot to say;

When you haven't got the coin you're always in the way.

Ev'rybody's fighting as we wend our way along,

Ev'ry fellow claims the other fellow's in the wrong;

Hurried and worried until we're buried and there's no curtain call.

Life's a very funny proposition after all.

Verse 2

When all things are coming easy, and when luck is with a man,

Why then life to him is sunshine ev'rywhere;

Then the fates blow rather breezy and they quite upset a plan,

Then he'll cry that life's a burden hard to bear.

Though today may be a day of smiles, tomorrow's still in doubt,

And what brings me joy, may bring you care and woe;

We're born to die, but don't know why, or what it's all about,

And the more we try to learn the less we know.

Refrain 2

Life's a very funny proposition, you can bet,

And no one's ever solved the problem properly as yet.

Young for a day, then old and gray;

Like the rose that buds and blooms and fades and falls away,

Losing health to gain our wealth as through this dream we tour.

Ev'rything's a guess and nothing's absolutely sure;

Battles exciting and fates we're fighting until the curtain falls.

Life's a very funny proposition after all."

你们有没有坐下思考
  感到疑惑
  静静思考
  我们为什么在这里
  生活为什么如此这般
  这个问题让无数聪明人喝酒买醉
  这是最最奇怪的事情
  他们都想弄清楚
  科学家们可以展示上千种不同的理论
  但从未证明这是为什么
  通过我们所学所想
  为什么我们似乎只了解
  我们降生
  我们活着
  然后我们步入死亡
  人生真是一个可笑的命题
  想象、妒忌、伪善和其他一天三餐
  有很多话要说
  当你一贫如洗
  你就不受欢迎
  大家都在抗争 匆忙、焦虑 直到我们死亡
  连谢幕都没有
  人生真是一个可笑的命题
  当一切随手可得
  当幸运伴随他身边
  为什么 这时人生于他到处充满了阳光
  然后命运轻轻波动 计划充满了不安
  这时他就会哭诉人生是一种负担
  他已无力承担
  尽管今天欢声笑语
  明天可能充满了怀疑
  带给我快乐的事
  也许带给你烦恼和痛苦
  人生注定一死 毫无道理
  也不明白是怎么一回事
  想要了解的越多 我们知道的就越少
  人生真是一个可笑的命题
  这是当然的 没人解决的问题
  像曾经那样合理 年轻只是一时 随后便老死 就像玫瑰含苞 然后怒放 最终褪色凋谢
  以健康换取财富 好像在梦里经历
  万事都是猜测 没有什么绝对确定
  令人兴奋的战争 反抗命运
  直到谢幕那一刻
  人生真是一个可笑的命题
