Oh what a world we live in
Still I think I'm doin' fine
'Life is beautiful' on a New York Times
Why am I always on a plane or a fast train?

Oh what a world my parents gave me
Always, travelin' but not in love
Why am I always on a plane or a fast train?

Straight man, oh what a world we live in
Men reading fashion magazines
Always, travelin' but not in love
Still I think I'm doin' fine
Oh what a world my parents gave me
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline?
Oh what a world it seems we live in

'Life is, beautiful'
Why am I always on a plane or a fast train?
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline?
Straight man, oh what a world we live in

Still I think I'm doin' fine
Always, travelin' but not in love
Oh what a world my parents gave me
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline?
'Life is beautiful' on a New York Times
