There's a law.. there's a law about men: There are men who can make it and men who cannot. |
There are fish who go swimming and fish that wind up in the pot! |
There are men who will study the books till the Judgement Day; And examine the techniques of the winners galore. |
There are men who will practice the rule religiously: Every day they'll improve just a little more: And they'll put all their soul behind it; |
All their ego, power, drive and will and desire behind it - and they'll throw themselves in. |
But they never will win. They never will win. They never never never never will win! |
There's a law! There's a law about men: There are men who are flabby and men who are thin: There are fish who are fattish and fish who are trim in the fin. |
And they'll live for a week on lemons; And another week on grass and water and crackers and lemons: And lay off the gin. |
But they'll never be thin. They'll never be thin. They'll never never never never be thin! "There's a law" from Trouble in Tahiti by Bernstein |
