Ain’t It de Truth? Audra McDonald

Life is short, short, brother
Ain't it the truth?
And there is no other
Ain't it the truth?
You got to grab that rainbow
While you still got your youth
Oh, ain't it the Solomon truth?

Was a guy named Adam
Ain't it the truth?
Said, "Now look here, madam"
Ain't it the truth?
"You got to bite that apple
While you still got your tooth"
Well, ain't it the mellow truth?

Long as there's wine and gin
To drown our troubles in
What's all this talk of sin?
Rise and shine, and fall in line

Get that new religion
Ain't it the truth?
'Fore you is dead pigeon
Ain't it the truth?
For when you laid horizontal
In that telephone booth
Well, there'll be no breathin' spell
That only natural
Ain't it the gospel truth?
