Is That All There Is?
I remember when I was a little girlOur house caught on fireI'll never forget the look on my father's faceAs he gathered me up in his arms,and raced me through the burning building onto the pavementAnd I stood there shivering in my pijamas,and watched the whole world go up in flamesAnd when it was all over I said to myself"Is that all there is to a fire?""Is that all there is?"
Is that all there is?If that's all there is my friends,then let's keep dancingLet's break out the booze and have a ballIf that's all there is
[Interlude (Spoken): Elizabeth Gillies]And when I was 12 years old, my daddy took me to the circusThe Greatest Show On EarthThere were clowns and elephantsAnd a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our headsAnd as I sat there watchingI had the feeling that something was missingI don't know whatWhen it was all over I said to myself"Is that all there is to the circus?""Is that all there is?"
Is that all there is?If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancingLet's break out the booze and have a ballIf that's all there is
And then I fell in love, with the most wonderful boy in the worldWe'd take long walks down by the riverOr just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyesWe were so very much in loveThen one day he went away and I thought I might dieBut I didn'tAnd when I didn't, I said to myself"Is that all there is to love?"
Is that all there is?Is that all there is?If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep...
I know what you must be saying to yourselves:"If that's the way she feels about it, why doesn't she just end it all?"Oh, noNo, not meI'm not ready for that final disappointment'Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to youAnd when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breathI'll be saying to myself
[Chorus: Elizabeth Gillies]Is that all there is?Is that all there is?If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancingLet's break out the booze and have a ballIf that's all there is
