Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Men reading fashion magazines
Oh what a world it seems we live in!
Straight men!
Oh what a world we live in!
Why am I always on a plane or a fast train?
Oh what a world my parents gave me!
Always traveling, but not in love
Still, I think I'm doin' fine
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline
"Life is Beautiful"on the New York Times?
[Verse 2]
Men reading fashion magazines
Oh what a world it seems we live in!
Straight men!
Oh what a world we live in!
Why am I always on a plane or a fast train?
Oh what a world my parents gave me!
Always traveling, but not in love
Still, I think I'm doin' fine
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline
"Life is Beautiful"on the New York Times?
[Verse 3]
Oh what a world we live in!
Why am I always on a plane or a fast train?
Oh what a world my parents gave me!
Always traveling, but not in love
Still, I think I'm doin' fine
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline
"Life is Beautiful"?
