Better

I've been fat
 I've been thin
 Thin is better
 I've been out
 I've been in
 In is better
 I have lost and I have won
 Losing isn't any fun
 Rain is fine, but when it's done
 Sun is better
 I've been poor
 I've been rich
 Rich is better
 Fancy or not a stitch
 Which is better?
 I've been healthy and in pain
 Pain is reason to complain
 Ask someone who's been insane
 Sane is better
 You and I is better
 Think and you'll agree
 Better than just you
 Better than just me
 All our days
 What we call fun was better
 All my nights
 Every last one was better
 Go improve on better
 Put it to the test
 When you've convalesced
 Here's what I'd suggest
 Better look me up and settle for the best
 Loved your songs
 Woke up humming "Paris Through the Window"
 See you -
 Tuesday
 I've been good
 I've been bad
 Bad is better
 Need's okay
 Having just had is better
 I woke humming "Paris"
 See you -
 Wednesday!
 I've been fire, I've been ice
 I've been naughty, I've been nice
 I've been naughty once or twice
 Twice is better
 You and I is better
 It's a better tune
 Better soon than late
 Better now than soon
 And soon
 Surprise!
 Life is short
 What is today is better (Hey, happy birthday!)
 Don't belong? Run the hallway is better
 Punishment ain't good as crime
 Late is boring, try on time
 Free-verse lacks a certain chime
 Rhyme is better
 I started my own record label
 I just scored the new Sydney Pollack movie!
 I starred in a workshop in Toronto
 I became a brassiere model
 I dated a brassiere model!
 I'm playing Ado Annie on the road
 Barbra Streisand's recording one of my songs!
 How'd he get that?
 Charlie!
 You and I is better
 Morning, night and noon
 Better soon than late
 Better now than soon
 It's a cinch
 People in pairs is better
 In a pinch
 Someone who cares is better
 Please return to better
 It's upon request
 When you've convalesced
 Here's what I'd suggest
 Bring it all on home
 And settle for
 The best!
