VERSE


A mop! A broom! A pail!
The stuff my dreams are made of!
You hope, you strive, you fail!
The world's a place you're not afraid of.
But soon you are brought down to earth,
And you learn what your dream was worth.

REFRAIN

This funny world
Makes fun of the things that you strive for
This funny world
Can laugh at the dreams you're alive for.
If you're beaten, conceal it!
There's no pity for you
For the world cannot feel it.
Just keep to yourself
Weep to yourself.
This funny world
Can turn right around and forget you.
It's always sure
To roll right along when you're through.
If yoo are broke you Shouldn't mind.
It's all a joke, for you will find
This funny world is making fun of you.
