lyrics
IT’S AN EASY LIFE (Walsh)
Rest your weary eyes
Take off your disguise
Don’t you know it’s easier to sleep?
Who took all the money?
You took all the money
You spent your fortune on rice and beans
The ice truck delivers every three days
CHORUS
It’s an easy life, it’s a hard life
So forgive your frozen fingers or your fear will turn to ice
It’s an easy life, it’s a hard life
So work hard don’t you sweat it or you might as well forget it
It’s an easy life
It’s an easy life
The blind man holds the ticket
Your destination is in Braille
So grab hold of his dog
And ride the magic bus
Life is hard enough without all your complaining
Go to the wailing wall if you want sympathy
The hangman is calling, he’s on your side
CHORUS
CHORUS
Rest your weary eyes
Take off your disguise
Don’t you know it’s easier to sleep?
When the money’s gone
You’ll be drifting on
You squandered it away now you have to pay
The judge and jury take you out for lunch
CHORUS
CHORUS
Rest your weary eyes
Take off your disguise
Don’t you know it’s easier to sleep?
Who took all the money?
You took all the money
You spent your fortune on rice and beans
The ice truck delivers every three days
CHORUS
It’s an easy life, it’s a hard life
So forgive your frozen fingers or your fear will turn to ice
It’s an easy life, it’s a hard life
So work hard don’t you sweat it or you might as well forget it
It’s an easy life
It’s an easy life
The blind man holds the ticket
Your destination is in Braille
So grab hold of his dog
And ride the magic bus
Life is hard enough without all your complaining
Go to the wailing wall if you want sympathy
The hangman is calling, he’s on your side
CHORUS
CHORUS
Rest your weary eyes
Take off your disguise
Don’t you know it’s easier to sleep?
When the money’s gone
You’ll be drifting on
You squandered it away now you have to pay
The judge and jury take you out for lunch
CHORUS
