Or else there's none of it at all.

You serve yourself with that same

MAN is NEVER SATISFIED.

It's funny. When the weather's. hot
We always wish that it were not,
And when the weather's cold as ice
We think some warmer place IS nlc5
And when the day is at it's height,
We often wish that it were night,
But later when the sun has set
We wish that it were daylight yet.
When we are poor we long for wealth,
But when we're rich we'd trade for
health
When we are broke we pray for dough
But when we're flush we let it go.
At close OF day we go to bed,
But pretty soon we rise instead.
We always go to sleep at night,
And then get up when it is light.
When it is dry we look for rain,
But when it's wet we swear like Cain
When there is sun we look for shade
At night we wish the sun had stayed
A man that leads a single life
VIII look around to find wife,
And when he's married you can bet
He wishes he was single yet.
Why man is never satisfied
Until at last he's up and died
And maybe he's not happy then
Wait till I've died I'll tell thee then
We always long for what we miss,
Why | could go on just like this
And name a million things or two,
But now good night I'll say I'm thru
