| Lyrics |
The rich get richer
But the poor get babies
So I guess Groucho had it right
The times they may change
But people rarely do
Even while there's hope that they might
(Chorus)
There's cause and effect
When you pause to reflect
don't take too long
Too much is too wrong
I hope for the best
Prepare for the worst
And I'll never be surprised
I wouldn't join a club
that wanted me to join
`cause the membership is ill-advised
Which will you believe
Me or your own eyes
Ask me no questions
And I'll tell you no lies
It's not a night at the opera
Or a day at the races
But life is funny just the same
Like animal crackers
Tumble into duck soup
It's a circus with another name
