begiini liriknya :

Ev'ry morning, ev'ry evening

Ain't we got fun? Not much money, Oh, but honey Ain't we got fun? The rent's unpaid dear We haven't a bus But smiles were made dear For people like us In the winter in the Summer Don't we have fun Times are bum and getting bummer Still we have fun There's nothing surer The rich get rich and the poor get children In the meantime, in between time Ain't we got fun? Just to make their trouble nearly double Something happened last night To their chimney a gray bird came Mister Stork is his name And I'll bet two pins, a pair of twins Just happened in with the bird Still they're very gay and merry Just at dawning I heard Ev'ry morning, ev'ry evening Don't we have fun Twins and cares, dear, come in pairs, dear Don't we have fun We've only started As mommer and pop Are we downhearted I'll say that we're not Landlords mad and getting madder Ain't we got fun? Times are so bad and getting badder Still we have fun There's nothing surer The rich get rich and the poor get laid off In the meantime, in between time Ain't we got fun? When the man who sold 'em carpets told 'em He would take them away They said, "Wonderful, here's our chance Take them up and we'll dance" And when burglars came and robbed them Taking all their silver, they say Hubby yelled, "We're famous, for they'll name us In the pepers today Night or daytime, it's all playtime Ain't we got fun? Hot or cold days, any old days Ain't we got fun If Wifey wishes To go to a play Don't wash the dishes Just throw them away Streetcar seats are awful narrow Ain't we got fun? They won't smash up our Pierce Arrow We ain't got none They've cut my wages But my income tax will be so much smaller When I'm laid off, I'll be paid off Ain't we got fun?

kalo kita baca liriknya, menggambarkan kondisi ekonomi amerika masa depresi,
Setiap pagi, setiap petang, bisakah kita bergembira, tak banyak uang oh sayang, bisakah kita bergembira...

Kontrakan belum dibayar tak punya bis bisakah kita bergembira dst (bear gak ya? hehe)

Lagu2 jazz memungkinkan dinikmati dengan kondisi seseorang dalam keadaan apapun, baik sedang jatuh cinta, kondisi keluarga yang sedang kacau, sedang akhir bulan, sedang sepi bisnis,tentang indahnya alam dan lain sebagainya. 

Kita bisa lihat laguya Fransk Sinatra  "Thats Life..."

Liriknya sbb :That's life (that's life) that's what all people say

You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change their tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I said that's life (that's life) and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin' on a dream
But I just can't let it, let it get me down,
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life), I tell you, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
'And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life), that's life, I can't deny it,
Many times I thought of cuttin' out, but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shaken come here this July,
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, my

Lagu lagu tersebut menggambarkan kondisi manusia ketika dalam masalah, tapi kita masih punya semangat menjalani hidup.Selalu ada harapan..
Jatuh bangun itu biasa bukan? dan kita tetap bisa bernyanyi...:)

lagi lain yang aku suka tentang alam, Lagunya Louis Amstrong, Judulnya " "Wonderful Life"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2VCwBzGdPM

Liriknya sebagai berikut :I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
But they're really saying I love you.

I hear baby's cry, and I watched them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know 
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Luar biasa bukan? saya kira lagu2 diatas lagu yang sangat religius, 2 lagu diats, mengajak kita untuk tetap optimis menjalani hidup, Lagu Lousi Amstrong Ciptaan
