And Marilyn stares down from the barroom wall
Verse Two: (chords the same as Verse One)
You and me we're just a couple a zeros
Just a couple of down and outs
But movie stars and football heroes
What do they have to be unhappy about
So they turn to the bartender, "Sam, what do you think
What's the key that unlocks that door"
Sam don't say nothin just wipes off the bar
And he pours them a couple more
Chorus Two: (chords in all four choruses are the same)
Cause the secret of life is Sam's martinis
The secret of life is in Marilyn's eyes
The secret of life is Monday night football
Rolling stones records and mom's apple pies

But don't wait, don't wait

The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is to find the right woman
The secret of life is nothing at all
