The Art Song (Something Good with Your Life)

Aren't you glad, aren't you glad, aren't you glad, aren't you?
Aren't you glad, aren't you glad?
The laughing Cavalier has laughed so hard he's split from ear to ear
Now aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
The Blue Boy has cheered right up, he's glowing yellow like a buttercup
Now aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
For all too soon, we face the gloom of a yawning grave
So by the ton go spend some fun, don't try and save
The Lacemaker's given in, she's bought some drums and now she makes a din
Aren't you glad you did something good with your life? Aren't you glad?...
The old Mona Lisa's changed, she moans no more instead she grins deranged
Now aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
The Night Watch was far too dark 'til they found the switch in the amusement park
Now aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
For all too quickly, we feel the nick of the headman's axe
So tear your bills into lacey frills, sit down relax
The Last Supper's got it wrong so they're back tomorrow for a real ding dong
Now aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
Said, aren't you glad you did something, instead of choosing the dumb thing?
Said aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
Oh what a life!
