Four

Of the wonderful things that you get outta life, there are four

And they may not be many, but nobody needs any more

Of the many facts making the list of life

Truth takes the lead

And to relax, knowing the gist of life

It's truth you need

Then the second is honor and happiness makes number three

When you put them together you'll know what the last one must be

Baby so the truth, honor and happiness

And one thing more

Meaning only wonderful, wonderful love that'll make it four


Don't you know the score? Well. people, when they're younger,

never realize the pleasure-treasure life's got

But, as they grow older, realize a lot

They got their minds on all the wrongest scenes

An things that cost a lotta' money, but it's really very funny;

they fade away and don't' amount to a hill o' beans

Funny how the things in life we really should adore

We forget, or ignore - end up poor-

Spent a lot o' time on money and madness and end up in sadness

Youth is the time when we should see the light

Cause when we're old wasted, the dues for what we've tasted run so high

That we pay 'till we die-then we know that youth

that made us strong is wasted on the young,

So-enjoy it gaily!

Love life! And live it daily

You'll find a lot of things to bring you joy and give peace of mind

Get it while the gettin's good, 'cause every body, if they only

would, life would be a set-

Live would be a groovy set-groovy as a movie

Wail! Wail! Let your voice be heard. Spread the work!

Every body's hear's got ears

Only gotta' teach em' how to use em-not abuse 'em

So take a tip from me: the world's everything

it oughta' be as long as you can be sure

There is no more to life than same ol' four.

Hard to believe, I know, but time will show

That even though you think it's boresome, two-and-two together constitute a foursome!

That's all -four is the figure-that's all!

Ain't gonna be gettin' any bigger, doesn't matter how you slice it up,

you'll never change it

You count everything that fate throws into life potstill

really four is all you've got.

Haven't they told you about he little pleasures that are part of all the rest

You live a little and love a little

And take a little and give a lot-still the total is happiness

But that's only one -you've just begun; there's gonna be more

After this are truth and honor shinin'

And love combinin' to make it four-no more.
