Song from the end of episode 12 of Boardwalk Empire. Lyrics: Did you ever sit and ponder, Sit and wonder, sit and think, Why we're here and what this life is all about? It's a problem that has driven Many brainy men to drink, It's the weirdest thing they've tried to figure out. About a thousand different theories All the scientists can show, But never yet have proved a reason why With all we've thought And all we're taught, Why all we seem to know Is we're born and live a while and then we die. Life's a very funny proposition after all, Imagination, jealousy, hypocrisy and all. Three meals a day, a whole lot to say; When you haven't got the coin you're always in the way. Everybody's fighting as we wend our way along, Every fellow claims the other fellow's in the wrong; Hurried and worried until we're buried and there's no curtain call. Life's a very funny proposition after all. When all things are coming easy, and when luck is with a man, Why then life to him is sunshine everywhere; Then the fates blow rather breezy and they quite upset a plan, Then he'll cry that life's a burden hard to bear. Though today may be a day of smiles, tomorrow's still in doubt, And what brings me joy, may bring you care and woe; We're born to die, but don't know why, or what it's all about, And the more we try to learn the less we know. Life's a very funny proposition, you can bet, And no one's ever solved the problem properly as yet. Young for a day, then old and gray; Like the rose that buds <b>...</b>
