-------------------------................

*from 'Monty Python Sings' (1989)*


Intro:



Verse 1:

                                  
Why are we here? What's life all a-bout?
                                   
Is God really real? Or is there some doubt?
                                   
Well, to-night, we're going to sort it  all out;
                                (n.)
For to-night, it's 'The Meaning of Life'.

Verse 2:

                             
What's the point, of all this hoax?
                                              
Is it the chicken and the egg time? Are we just yolks?
                                     
Or, per-haps, we're just one of God's lit-tle jokes;
                             (n.)
Well, ça c'est; le 'Meaning of Life'.

Chorus 1:

                                        
Is life just a game, where me make up the rules,
                                             
While we're searching for something to say?
                                            
Or are we just simply spiralling coils, of self-replicating DNA?
                              +
 (Nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay).

Verse 3:

                           
In this 'life'; what is our fate?
                              
Is there Heaven and Hell? Do we reincarnate?
                           
Is mankind e-volving, or is it  too late?
                                   (n.)
Well, tonight; here's 'The Meaning of Life'.

Chorus 2:

                                         
For millions, this 'life' is a sad vale of tears;
                                     
Sitting 'round, with nothing to say.
          
While the scientists say;
                                         
We're just simply spiralling coils, of self-replicating DNA.
                              +
 (Nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay).

Verse 4:

                        
So, just why? Why are we here?
                                    
And just what, what, what, what do we fear?
                                         
Well, ce soir, for a change; it will all be  made clear;
                         
For this, is 'The Meaning of Life'.

 C'est le sens, de la vie,
                     
 This is 'The Meaning of Life'.
