The Secret of Life Lyrics

Couple of guys sittin' around drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of 'em says, "You know I been thinkin'"
Other one says, "That won't get you too far"

He says, "This is your life and welcome to it
It's just workin' and drinkin' and dreams
Ad on the TV says 'Just Do It'
Hell if I know what that means"

The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is a beautiful woman
And Marilyn stares down from the barroom wall

Now you and me, we're just a couple of zeroes
Just a couple of down and outs
But movie stars and football heroes
What have they got to be unhappy about?

So they turn to the bartender, "Sam, what do you think
What's the key that unlocks that door?"
Sam don't say nothin', just wipes down the bar
And he pours 'em a couple more

'Cause the secret of life is in Sam's martinis
The secret of life is in Marilyn's eyes
The secret of life is in Monday night football
And Rolling Stones records and mom's apple pies

Sam looks up from his Sunday paper
He says, "Boys, you're on the wrong track
The secret of life is there ain't no secret
And you don't get your money back"

The secret of life is gettin' up early
The secret of life is stayin' up late
The secret of life is try not to hurry
But don't wait, don't wait

The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is to find the right woman
The secret of life is nothin' at all

It's nothign at all
The secret of life

Couple of guys sittin' around drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of 'em says, "You know I been thinkin'"
Other one says, "That won't get you too far"
