"The Art Song (Something Good With Your Life)" lyrics - ANDY PARTRIDGE

Aren't you glad, aren't you glad, aren't you glad, aren't you?
Aren't you glad, aren't you glad?

The laughing Cavalier has laughed so hard he's split from ear to ear.
Now aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
The Blue Boy has cheered right up, he's glowing yellow like a buttercup.
Now aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
For all too soon, we face the gloom of a yawning grave.
So by the ton go spend some fun, don't try and save.
The Lacemaker's given in, she's bought some drums and now she makes a din.

Aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
Aren't you glad?...

The Mona Lisa's changed, she moans no more instead she grins deranged.
Now aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
The Night Watch was far too dark 'til they found the switch in the amusement park.
Now aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
For all too quickly, we feel the nick of the headman's axe.
So tear your bills into lacey frills, sit down relax.
The Last Supper's got it wrong so they're back tomorrow for a real ding dong.

Now aren't you glad you did something good with your life?
Said, aren't you glad you did something, instead of choosing the dumb thing?
Said aren't you glad you did something good with your life? Oh what a life!
