What if you do nothing with your life
Run no races, strive no strife
Just live on a farm have one dear wife
One good dog and that is that
What if launch into space on a rocketship
And fall back to earth on a stardust ride
All you get is a tickertape parade
Better to spend the day in the shade
What if you rise up to fame on the silver screen
And find yourself starring in all the girls' dreams
All you get is a little bronze man
Better to make just one loyal fan
Running the plow all day
The horses paw the hay
Apples up your sleeve
Who says that you've got to leave
What if you do nothing with your life
Run no races, strive no strife
Just live on a farm have one dear wife
One good dog and that is that
One good dog and that is that
