Lyrics This Is the Life (Dog Act) - Irving Berlin
[1st
verse:]
Farmer
Brown
came
to
town
Started
to
take
in
the
sights
Cabarets,
swell
cafes
Took
up
most
of
his
nights
After
seven
days
or
so
After
seeing
ev'ry
show
After
meeting
May
and
Flo
Farmer
Brown
remarked
[Refrain:]
I
love
the
cows
and
chickens
But
this
is
the
life,
this
is
the
life!
I
love
to
raise
the
dickens!
While
I'm
Cabareting
Where
the
band
is
playing
I
love
the
homemade
cider
But
I'd
rather
have
wine
No
more
picking
berries
Me
for
cocktail
cherries!
This
is
the
life,
this
is
the
life,
this
is
the
life
for
mine
[2nd
verse:]
Missus
Brown,
out
of
town
Wrote
to
her
husband
and
said
"Please
come
home,
I'm
alone!"
When
her
letter,
he
read
Farmer
Brown
took
off
his
coat
Sat
right
down
and
then
he
wrote
To
his
wife
a
little
note
This
is
what
he
said:
