É Ou Não É

Is it or isn't it
That work dignifies
That's how the saying explains
The adage that never fails?

Is it or isn't it
That from this, all the truth
That knows by dignity
In the world, nobody works!

Is it or isn't it
That the people tell us no
That the nose is not a feature
Whether big or delicate?

In the middle of the face
It must be seen by force
Even to those who don't put it
Where it's not called for!

Tell me if it is or not?
Oh, no, it's not!
Oh, no, it's not!
Tell me if it is or not?
Oh, no, it's not! That's right!

Is it or isn't it
That the old man who goes out on the street
Thinks, when he sees the miniskirt:
This world is lost?

But if he were to return
To being a young lad now
Would he find that a skirt
Is very long?

Is it or isn't it
Kind the humanity
Everyone knows that kindness
Is what earns heaven?

But the truth
Naked without fanfare
That I had to learn
Is that woe to me if it's not me!

Tell me if it is or not?
Oh, no, it's not!
Oh, no, it's not!
Tell me if it is or not?
Oh, no, it's not! That's right!

Tell me if it is or not?
Oh, no, it's not!
Oh, no, it's not!
Tell me if it is or not?
Oh, no, it's not! That's right!
