Couple of guys sittin`
`round drinkin`
Down at the Starlight Bar

One of `em says you
know I`ve been thinkin`
Other one says that
won`t get you too far

He says this is your
life and welcome to it
It`s just workin`
and drinkin` and dreams

Ad on TV says
just do it
Hell if I know
what that means

The secret of life
is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life
is keep your eye on the ball

The secret of life
is a beautiful woman
And Marilyn stares
down from the bar room wall

You and me we`re just
a couple of zeroes
Just a couple of
down and outs

But movie stars and
football heroes
What have they got to
be unhappy about yeah

So they turn to the
bartender Sam
what do you think
What`s the key that

unlocks that door
Sam don`t say nothin`
just wipes off the bar
And he pours them

a couple more
`Cause the secret of life
is in Sam`s martinis
The secret of life

is in Marilyn`s eyes
The secret of life
is in Monday night football
Rolling Stones records

and mom`s apple pies


Sam looks up from

his Sunday paper
Says boys you`re
on the wrong track
The secret of life

is there ain`t no secret
And you don`t get
your money back hey
The secret of life

is gettin` up early
The secret of life
is stayin` up late
The secret of life

is try not to hurry
But don`t wait
don`t wait
The secret of life

is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life
is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life

is to find the right woman
The secret of life
is nothin` nothin` at all
Oh it`s nothin` at all

The secret of life
Couple of guys sittin`
`round drinkin`
Down at the Starlight Bar

One of `em says you
know I`ve been thinkin`
Other one says that
won`t get you too far

That won`t get you too far
