Life should ba a film
One of those foreign films
Where people are always talking
And you just can't understand
But it means a lot

Life should be a book
A really, really good book
That you take when you travel
And hope it never ends
And you read again
Life should be a poetry,
A pretty pretty tree
Where words have their meanings
To help you understand
And say what you mean

You're giving me a stomach ache
When you negotiate
You're giving me a stomach ache
When you try and set me straight

Life should be a song
One of those sixties songs
With lots of catchy phrases
That everybody knows
So you can sing along
Life should be a poetry,
A pretty pretty tree
Where words have their meanings
To help you understand
And say what you mean

You're giving me a stomach ache
When you negotiate
And when you set me straight
You're giving me a stomach ache

Life should be a tree, a poetry tree
