what are we here for? - betty comden lyrics

[verse]
the sea is bright blue
the heavens, light blue
green things are growing
south wind is blowing
all nature’s colors are unfurled
oh, see the sunbeams
how every one beams
the crickets call us
the birds enthrall us
this is a pretty darn good world
never can understand
people who reprimand
you when they hear laughter
pity the gloomy gus
speaking in manner thus
“you will suffer after”

[chorus]
what are we here for?
what are we here for?
i’d like to know
if not to dance and to play?
if not to laugh and be g*y?
what is the spring for?
what do birds sing for?
down here below
if not to brighten the way
as on we go?
we all are actors in a gorgeous setting
it’s full of magic
no use in getting
tragic
if we can’t be full
of a joy gleeful
all through the day
what are we here for
anyway?
what are we here for?
what are we here for?
i’d like to know
if not to dance and to play?
if not to laugh and be g*y?
what is the spring for?
what do birds sing for?
down here below
if not to brighten the way
as on we go?
we all are actors in a gorgeous setting
it’s full of magic
no use in getting
tragic
if we can’t be full
of a joy gleeful
all through the day
what are we here for
anyway?
anyway?
