No Way To Stop It

You dear attractive dewy-eyed idealist
Today you have to learn to be a realist
You may be bent on doing deeds of derring-do
But up against a shark, what can a herring do?

Be wise, compromise!
Compromise and be wise!
Let them think you're on their side
Be noncommitical
I will not bow my head to the men I despise
You won't have to bow your head
Just stoop a little
And what is life about?
Why are we here?

My answer will be simple, quick and clear
A crazy planet full of crazy people
Is somersaulting all around the sky
And ev'rytime it turns another somersault
Another day goes by!

And there's no way to stop it, no there's no way to stop it
No, you can't stop it even if you try
So I'm not going to worry, no I'm not going to worry
Ev'ry time I see another day go by.

While somersaulting at a cock-eyed angle
We make a cock-eyed circle 'round the sun
And when we circle back to where we started from
Another year has run.

And there's no way to stop it, no there's no way to stop it
If the earth wants to roll around the sun!
You're a fool if you worry, you're a fool if you worry
Over anything but little Number One!

That's you!
That's I
And I
And me! That all absorbing character!

That fascinating creature!
That super special feature
Me!

So ev'ry star and ev'ry whirling planet
And ev'ry constellation in the sky
Revolve around the centre of the universe
A lovely thing called I!

Yes!
And there's no way to stop it
No there's no way to stop it
And I know though I cannot tell you why
That as long as I'm living.

Just as long as I'm living
There'll be nothing else as wonderful as I!
There'll be nothing else as wonderful as I!
