You know
the fact
that life is full of ups and downs
is just the thing that keep
s us so perplexed.
And I think the reason we all stick around
is just to see what's
gonna happen next.
Did you ever meet a guy
who could make the lady sigh?
Cause this guy has
such a wonderful physique
And then he opens up his
mouth to speak
Nothing
Did you ever sit at home
and idly dial the phone?
And though the number's wrong,
the voice is very sweet
So you make an engagement
and you two dolls meet
Nothing
Every time you try to think of bluebirds
Better you should go and break a leg
Cause every time you try
to think of bluebirds
It's a hundred to one, birds are laying eggs
In an evening gown at nine
She looks gorgeous and divine
What a figure
Oh, this girl has got a butte
Next day the same doll in a bathing suit
Oh, you couldn't com
pare to Broomstick, no
To the track you take a trip,
everybody gives you a tip
Oh, this horse is gonna win, but of course
Not everybody knows this
except the horse
He didn't get the message
till two days before he's runnin'
You leave in town?
Well, go see my friend Al Brown
and mention my name.
He's a good friend of mine.
Just give him a call.
So you leave town
and you give Al Brown a call.
He says, who sent you, Pearl?
Never heard of him.
Every time you give yourself a buildup,
it's better you should stop.
Cause every time you
give yourself a build -up,
it's a hundred to one
that's gonna be a flop
You like pizza pie a lot,
and you've got a favorite spot
But you always got a friend
that knows the places best
So you go to where your friends sug gest
Oh hon ey, these people are not
even open on Mondays
Every time you give yourself a build -up
I told you, it's better you should stop
Cause every time you give
yourself a build -up
It's a hundred to one,
it's gonna be a flop
Now get this,
they say married life is great
Go and get yourself a mate
It will banish all your wor
ries and your fears
Look at me,
I've been married about twenty years
And are you getting nothing?
