The Funny World Songtext
von Matt Dennis

A hope, a scheme, a plan
The stuff my dreams are made of
You strive like any man
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


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 you are broke, you shouldn't mind
It′s all a joke for you will find
This funny world is making fun of you

This funny world is making fun of you
