My father

[Guitar Solo 1] [Drummers knocking] [Guitar Solo 2] [Verse 1] The world is a beautiful place to be born into if you don't mind happiness not always being so very much fun if you don't mind a touch of hell now and then just when everything is fine because even in heaven they don't sing all the time [Chorus] The world is a beautiful place to be born into if you don't mind some people dying all the time or maybe only starving some of the time which isn't half bad if it isn't you my father was a practical man. he had an idea. you see, my son, he said, I can pay for this house in my lifetime, then it's mine. when I die I pass it on to you. now in your lifetime you can acquire a house and then you'll have two houses and you'll pass those two houses on to your son, and in his lifetime he acquires a house, then when he dies, his son - I get it, I said. my father died while trying to drink a glass of water. I buried him. solid mahogany casket, after the funeral I went to the racetrack, met a high yellow, after the races we went to her apartment for dinner and goodies. I sold his house after about a month. I sold his car and his furniture and gave away all his paintings except one and all his fruit jars (filled with fruit boiled in the heat of summer) and put his dog in the pound. I dated his girlfriend twice but getting nowhere I gave it up. I gambled and drank away the money. now I live in a cheap front court in Hollywood and take out the garbage to hold down the rent. my father was a practical man. he choked on that glass of water and saved on hospital bills.
