Lyrics

A mop, a broom, a pail

The stuff my dreams are made of

You hope, you strive, you fail

The world's a place you're not afraid of

But soon you are brought down to earth

And you learn what your dream was worth

This funny world

Makes fun of the things that you strive for

This funny world

Can laugh at the dreams you're alive for

If you're beaten conceal it

There's no pity for you

For the world cannot feel it

Just keep to yourself, weep to yourself

This funny world

Can turn right around and forget you

It's always sure

To roll right along when you're through

If you are broke, you shouldn't mind

It's all a joke, for you will find

This funny world

Is making fun of you

If you are broke, you shouldn't mind

It's all a joke, for you will find

This funny world

Is making fun of you

Of you
