Life is only a moving picture   Nothin' in life is a permanent fixture   Oh no, oh oh no      Black girls, white girls oh what a mixture   Lookin' as pretty as a picture   Oh no, oh oh no      We live, we die no one knows why   We come, we go, we see the show   And it's always movin', always movin'   Life is only a movin' picture      Oh, life can sometimes not be very nice   But then you make your choice so you must pay the price   You take the good and bad 'cos life's all work and play   And it soon fades away      Life is only what you make it out   So make the verses rhyme and all the pieces fit   There isn't any time to make much sense of it   It soon fades away      Life is only a moving picture   Nothin' in life is a permanent fixture   Oh no, oh oh no      We live, we die no one knows why   We come, we go we see the show   And it's always movin', always movin'      Look at all those movin' pictures   Nothin' in life is a permanent fixture   Oh no, oh oh no      It's only movin', only movin', only movin' pictures
