Coda

This day and age we're living in

Give cause for apprehension

With speed and new invention

And things like fourth dimension

Yet we get a trifle weary

With Mr. Einstein's theory

So we must get down to earth at times

Relax, relieve the tension

And no matter what the progress

Or what may yet be proved

The simple facts of life are such

They cannot be removed

You must remember this

A kiss is just a kiss

A sigh is just a sigh

The fundamental things apply

As time goes by. . . .
