Manhattan Transfer - Sing Joy Spring Lyrics

Font:

Align:

We sing a spring

(sing joy spring)

A rare and most mysterious spring

(this most occult thing)

Is buried deep in the soul

(its story never has been told)

The joy spring, the fountain of pleasure

Is deep inside you whether youre diggin it or not

Once youre aware of this spring

Youll know that its the greatest

Treasure youve got

And furthermore

The joy spring, the bounteous treasure

Cannot be bartered away and never

Can be sold

Nothing can take it from you

Its yours and yours alone to have

And to hold

And something more:

It never is lost to fire or theft

Its always around

When trouble is gone the pleasure

Is left Ive always found

Its burglar-proof same as the treasure

Man lays up in heaven worth a

Price no one can measure

That says a lot

So joy spring this fountain of pleasure

Thats deep inside you let me inform

You in all truth *(to coda second time)

Ponce de leon sought this

When he was searchin for the fountain of youth

Ol ponce de leon laughed so much he

Never did find the magic fountain

But many people with a well-adjusted

Spirit they could hear it when ytold

em it was there tellin them was

Like tellin it on the mountain

Its quite a life havin the gift of

Laughter Im a man who knows in a

Minute I can tell yjust exactly how the story goes

It involves a firm conviction in another

Previous life givin your mind a chance to fly

Fly aroun the universe investigatin other

Galaxies n certain other subtle

Types olife tryin tdig it gettin

Pretty well-acquainted with a lot of

Other strife an pretty much acquirin

Yourself plenty of education

Pretty soon here comes earth birth

n then yready tput it all twork

But soon as youre finished bein born

You start forgettin what you knew

cause youre another kinda you - a

Reincarnation manifestation

Of spirit in sensation

Yreally got that right

The average person isnt bright

Not so bright that they recall the fatal fall

Down here t this earth

Their minds disguise their death to spirit

Life and call it birth

Thats their reason for forgetting and they

Find it very upsetting when reminded

Tell em theyve lived before

Theyll show y the nearest open door

Gotta have feelin while dealin with

Walkers in their sleep

They cant imagine somethin as deep

Here they come - here they come - there they are

Unimaginative and ignorant of falling from a star

Here they come - there they are - there they go

Life is over in a minute an they never dug

It in it or enjoy a minute of it

cause they put too much above it

That was gross

Somethin that was worth a couple bucks

At mos

So there is the reason that the maker of man

Included there in his plan

A certain fountain deep within

Where there was laughter, youth n gold

For human beings thave n hold

n share the memory of where weve all been

Brothers called grimm knew chances were slim

Anybody would dig that the human soul

Was snow white

And the seven dwarfs were seven tempers

In man

Whose digging out the gold completes

The plan

An bacon was hip that shakespeare

Couldnt read

And so he gave him all the rhymes

That have lasted through the years

And kept eternal truths alive through

Several centuries

Thats how we know them now

They lasted cause theyre true

What was it from macbeth?

Lifes but a walking shadow

A player poor

That struts and frets upon the stage

Ands seen no more

A tale that truly has an idiotic ring

Thats full of lotsa sound and fury

Signifying nothing...

Thats right signifying nothing

Ill repeat it! nothing

Dont forget it - nothing

And thats the reason for that spring

Of joy

That the father put inside of every

Single girl and boy

Show time! everyones on

Lets hit the stage

Its show time everyone an proceed

To act your age

Whatever youre frownin at is funny

Enough flaughin

So youre wastin all your humor on a frown

While youre bringin your spirit down

You gotta book yourself a comic in your act

Without some laughter lifes a maudlin

Farce n thats a fact

Once you know about the spring you always can smile

It becomes your one expression

And youre always wearin it like the

Buddhas do

(repeat intro to *)

(coda)

Ponce de leon sought this

When he was searchin

For the fountain of youth

I say in truth he

Sought a magical thing

For he was searchin

For the joy spring
