Malcolm Gets Lyrics
"It's A Fine Life"

If you don't mind having to go without things
It's a fine life.
Tho' it ain't all jolly old pleasure outings...
It's a fine life
When you got someone to love
You forget your cares and strife
Let the prudes look down on us
Let the wide world frown on us
It's a fine, fine life
If you don't mind taking it like it turns out,
It's a fine life!
Keep the candle burning until it burns out
It's a fine life.
Though you sometimes do come by
The occasional black eye
You can always cover one
While he blacks the other one
But you don't dare cry.
Small pleasures, small pleasures
Who would deny us these?
Gin toddies -- large measuress --
No skimpin' if you please!
I rough it, I just love it
Life is a game of chance.
I'll never tire of it --
Leading this merry dance.

If you don't mind having to like or lump it...
It's a fine life
Tho' there's no tea-sipping and eating crumpet
It's a fine life!
Not for me, the happy home
Happy husband, happy wife
Tho' it sometimes touches me...
...For the likes of such as me...
Mine's a fine... Fine... life!
If you don't mind having to go without things
It's a fine life.
Tho' it ain't all jolly old pleasure outings...
Mine is a fine life
When you got someone to love
You forget your cares and strife
Let the prudes look down on us

Let the wide world frown on us

Mines a fine,..Fine,.Life.
