Lyrics:

SPOKEN:
I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
Ill never forget the look on my fathers face as he gathered me up
in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself, Is that all there is to a fire

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If thats all there is my friends, then lets keep dancing
Lets break out the booze and have a ball
If thats all there is

SPOKEN:
And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears.
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle.
I had the feeling that something was missing.
I dont know what, but when it was over,
I said to myself, is that all there is to a circus?

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If thats all there is my friends, then lets keep dancing
Lets break out the booze and have a ball
If thats all there is

SPOKEN:
Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each others eyes.

We were so very much in love.
Then one day he went away and I thought Id die, but I didnt,
and when I didnt I said to myself, is that all there is to love?

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If thats all there is my friends, then lets keep dancing

SPOKEN:
I know what you must be saying to yourselves,
if thats the way she feels about it why doesnt she just end it all?
Oh, no, not me. Im in no hurry for that final disappointment,
for I know just as well as Im standing here talking to you,
when that final moment comes and Im breathing my lst breath, Ill be saying to myself

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If thats all there is my friends, then lets keep dancing
Lets break out the booze and have a ball
If thats all there is
