IS THAT ALL THERE IS?
(j. leiber/ M. Stoller)

SPOKEN:
I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire. I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me upin his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement. I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames. And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire?

"SUNG: Is that all there is, is that all there isIf that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

SPOKEN: And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth. There were clowns and elephants and dancing bearsAnd a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads. And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacleI had the feeling that something was missing. I don't know what, but when it was over, I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a circus?

SPOKEN: Then I fell in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world. We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.We were so very much in love. Then one day, he went away. And I thought I'd die -- but I didn't. And when I didn't I said to myself, "Is that all there is to love?

SPOKEN: I know what you must be saying to yourselves. If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all? Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment. For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you, when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my lst breath, I'll be saying to myself

SUNG:Is that all there is, is that all there isIf that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ballIf that's all there is
