歌詞

Wilbur: Spoken- "Tracy, my little petunia, even I used
To get discouraged about the future. Luckily, I had a
Wonderful family to turn to."
When I was a tot not much older than three
My father would sit me on his one good knee
He hacked and he coughed from those three packs a day
But he still found the lung-power to say:
"Ohhh, the… future looks dark, may be troubles ahead
You at least have tomorrow but I may be dead."
Then he yelled from the can taking his final piss:
"Kid! it doesn't get better than this!"
Wilbur: Spoken- "Feel better, Tracy?"
Tracy: Spoken- "Um… Sorta…"
Wilbur: Spoken- "Alright, then, listen to this!"
My mother loved dope, and tobacco she'd chew
Each morning at breakfast she'd knock back a few
She walked me to school with her eyes shiny red;
I can still smell her breath as she said:
"Ohhh, the… future looks bright, Wilbur, don't make a fuss."
Then she stepped off the curb, and got hit by a bus
So, don't wait for the future. It's all hit or miss
Kid, it doesn't get better than this
Oh, No! Don't count your troubles. Things may take a turn for the worse
Life keeps sticking you up, till' they're picking you up in a hearse. Oh, Nurse!
My uncle wore raincoats though it never rained
He showed off the lining, till' someone complained
When he got arrested, he said: "What the hell!"
And he wrote me this note from his cell:
"Ohhh, the… future looked grim when the judge gave me life
But I've hung up my raincoat 'cause I found a wife
Yes, Herman and I live in pure wedded bliss
Kid, it doesn't get better than this."
Sooo, your…future looks bleak and you can't find your smile
Baby, life's just a joke, why not laugh for a while?
Now, how 'bout a hug? Give your old man a kiss!
Tracy: Spoken- "Daddy…"
'Cause it doesn't get better than this
No, it doesn't… get better… than this…
