La vida es un bol de cerezas

Songs from the 1920s and 1930s are cropping up on song lists, and sounding right at home alongside more recent lyrics.
Canadian vocalist Holly Cole included a thoroughly modern version of Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries on her recent debut cd with the French Dreyfus label that is as catching as a virus.
The song was written for the Broadway revue, The George White Scandals of 1931 by the popular Tin Pan Alley. The idea is a happy one, suggesting the joie de vivre on view in these images: an idea that was in the air waiting for someone to write a song.

"Life is just a bowl of cherries.

Don't take it serious;

life's so mysterious.

You work, you save, you worry so,

But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go.

So keep repeating it's the berries

, The strongest oak must fall,

The sweet things in life, to you were just loaned

So how can you lose what you've never owned?

Life is just a bowl of cherries,

So live and laugh at it all. "
