Mira cómo te ha dejado esta vida
Antes que pienses que vas a envejecer.
Mira cómo te ha dejado esta historia
Antes que pienses que vas a enloquecer.

Mira que la vida no es eterna;
En cualquier momento nos olvida.

Mira cómo te cae todita la cabellera
Antes que pienses que vas a enloquecer.
Mira cómo se te escurre todito el corazón;
Y tú, y tú, y tú no haces nada.

Mira que la vida no es eterna;
En cualquier momento nos olvida.

Mira que la vida no es eterna;
En cualquier momento nos olvida.Death don't need a reason,
to come and take you, child, away
Loss always in season
doesn't take a holiday
It leaves you in your mourning
long about an evening frost

a hallowed day
no holiday
So pack your alligator

Just what you're worth
only the undertaker knows
a holiday
a hollow day
a hallowed day
no holiday

Oh, why is it always Miss Marmelstein?
Miss Marmelstein? Miss Marmelstein?
Other girls get called by their first names right away
They get cozy intimate ... Do you know what I mean?
Nobody calls me: "hey, baby doll!"
Or "Honey Dear" or "Sweetie Pie"
Even my first name would be preferable
Though it's terrible, it might be better: it's Yetta!
Or perhaps my second name that's Tessye
Spells T-E-S-S-Y-E!
But no, no, it's always Miss Marmelstein!
You'd think at least Miss M. they could try...
Miss Marmelstein! Miss Marmelstein!
Miss Marmelstein! Miss Marmelstein! Miss Marmelstein!
Oh, I could die!
I'm a very willing secretary
Enjoy my work as my employer will corroborate
except for one disappointment one fly in the ointment
It's great I mean simply great
But the aggravation of my situation
I might as well get it off my chest
