Lyrics:

This life ain't no jokin business
This life ain't no jokin business

'Cause I'm I'm a serious man
No don't be gossip with them heathens
Me I'm a serious man
Seem like the trouble it go for them
Me I'm a serious man
No don't be gossip with no heathens
Me I'm a serious man that's what I am
Cause life ain't no jokin business

And I won't laugh and take life for a joke noo-ho-ho
Then watch poor people life go up in smoke
And I don't feel that we gonna take this (on) I said no
We need to have praise in god
For our life is joy

'Cause I'm I'm a serious man
No don't be gossip with them heathens
Me I'm a serious man
Seem like the trouble it go for them
Me I'm a serious man
No don't be gossip with no heathens
Me I'm a serious man that's what I am
Cause life ain't no jokin business

And I won't live oh for political idealogy no ho ho
No value in dollars and the faith in economy
And I don't laugh and take this thing for fun I said no
We need to have praise in god
For our life is joy

'Cause I'm I'm a serious man
No don't be gossip with them heathens
Me I'm a serious man
Seem like the trouble it go for them
Me I'm a serious man
No don't be gossip with no heathens
Me I'm a serious man that's what I am
Cause life ain't no jokin business

Nooooo life ain't no jokin business
Uuuu life ain't no jokin' business

'Cause I'm I'm a serious man
No don't be gossip with them heathens
Me I'm a serious man
Seem like the trouble it go for them
Me I'm a serious man
No don't be gossip with no heathens
Me I'm a serious man that's what I am
Cause life ain't no jokin business
