Ain't It the Truth [Reprise Outtake] - Cabin In The Sky, Lena Horne

Life is short brother

Ain’t it the truth?

And there is no other

Ain’t it the truth?

If you don’t love livin' you is slightly uncouth

Ain’t it the dignified truth?

Said that gal Du Barry

«Ain't it the truth?

Life is cash and carry

Ain’t it the truth?

You got to shake it down or stir up with vermouth

Ain’t it the practical truth?

Love is a ripplin' brook

Man is a fish to cook

You got to bait your hook;

Rise and shine

Cast your line!

You got to get your possum

Ain’t it the truth?

While you still in blossom

Ain’t it the truth?

Cleopatra and Delilah had it way over Ruth

Mmm, them gels did mighty swell

They sure did ring that bell!

Ain’t it the gospel truth?

It’s the truth, the truth

It’s the solid mellow truth!
