lyrics

Meaning of Life Polka
© 2000 P. Rogers
I woke up with a notion to let the world go by
Went out for a doughnut and some joe
Stared into my cup, like a fella in a rut
And thought about the good times long ago
So I sat there for a while
with a powdered sugar smile
and wondered if the waitress was a dancer
With a Nam yeah ring keah keo (sp?)
and a couple of HoHoHo's
We set off down the road to find the answer.

What is the Meaning of Life?
Did you ever stop to ponder that question in your head?
What is the Meaning of Life?
It's just gettin' up and doing stuff and going back to bed.

We came upon a garden path
with roses all abloom
and a little bench with old folks congregatin'
They seemed to me most wise so I asked them for advice
They said "Life is mostly hurryin' up and waiting".
So we ran out to the streets
With wings upon our feet
and wondered if we'd ever stand a chance here
With a Nam yeah ring keah keo (sp?)
and a couple more HoHoHo's

What is the Meaning of Life?
Did you ever stop to ponder that question in your head?
What is the Meaning of Life?
It's just gettin' up and doing stuff and going back to bed.

Stopped in at a bar
for a burger and a beer
Overheard a funny conversation
A comet in the sky would soon be passing by
So we hurried off to make a reservation
But the price was much too dear
So we're stuck down here
Any other wish I'd surely grant her
She said "Would it be alright
If stayed with you tonight?"
So we ran off down the road to find the answer

What is the Meaning of Life?
Did you ever look out yonder and scratch upon your head?
What is the Meaning of Life?
It's just gettin' up and doing stuff and going back to bed.
