Life has done its best for me—I find it tiresome still;

For nothing’s everything at all, and everything is nil.

Same old get-up, dress, and tub;

Same old breakfast; same old club;

Same old feeling; same old blue;

Same old story—nothing new!

Life consists of paying bills as long as you have health;

Woman? She’ll be true to you—as long as you have wealth;

Think sometimes of marriage, if the right girl I could strike;

But the more I see of girls, the more they are alike.
