Look at how you're fretting
Life's getting upsetting
Lover boy's departing
You're starting to cry
I guess your dreams ain't turning out so swell, my dear
Well, my dear
Here's why:
All good things must end
Flowers fade
Balloons deflate
And butterflies disintegrate
And all good things must end
Puppies die
And teeth decay
And lollipops are licked away
And oh...
Jewels begin to lose their glow
Divas hear their last bravo
Even kings and queens eat crow, my dear
'cause hey...
Struggle though you may
The rules won't bend
All good things must...
Gee, you're awfully mum dear
So glum, dear!
How come, dear?
Better just embrace it
'cause, face it, you're through!
And if perhaps things didn't go your way, my dear
Hey, my dear, BOO HOO!
"See you in church, doll! HAHAHAHAA!"
All good things must end
Beauty queens get old and fat
And wrinkle up and that is that
And no one bucks the trend
Every handsome Romeo
Gets bald on top and soft below
And soon
Every plum becomes a prune
Cities go to rack and ruin
Nothing in the world's immune!
And as for love
ALL OF THE ABOVE applies, my friend!
All good things
They come with strings, YES!
All good things must end
Pricey wine and fine champagne
Are flushed together down the drain
And as the fates intend
Parties dwindle down
'till you're unconscious on the bathroom floor!
And you
You have reached the end now too
Everybody's bill comes due
Funny how the time just flew, my sweet, AND GEE
Sad though it may be, well, why pretend?
All good things
The fat chick sings
And curtains soon descend!
And you, poor thing
You've had your fling
But all good things must...
END!
Menken/Slater.
