The Meaning of Life

The Meaning of Life, sung, written and composed (with help from John Du Prez) by Eric Idle, is quite obviously the theme to The Meaning of Life..

Why are we here?  What's life all about?
Is God really real, or is there some doubt?
Well, tonight, we're going to sort it all out.
For tonight, it's "The Meaning of Life"

What's the point of all this hoax?
Is it the hicken and the egg time or are we just yolks?
Or, perhaps, we're just one of God's little jokes.
Well, ca c'est "The Meaning of Life"

Is life just a game where we make up the rules
While we're searching for something to say
Or are we just simply spiraling coils
Of self-replicating DA-nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay.

What is life? What is our fate?
Is their Heaven and Hell? Do we reincarnate?
Is mankind evolving or is it too late?
Well, tonight here's "The Meaning of Life"

For millions this life is a sad veil of tears
Sitting 'round with really nothing to say
While the scientists say we're just simply spiraling coils
Of self-replicating DN- nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay.

So, just why-- why are we here?
And just what-- what--what-- what do we fear?
Well, ce soir, for a change it will all be made clear
For this is "The Meaning of Life"  C'est le sense la vie.
This is "The Meaning of Life"
