It Ain't the End of the World ~ George Segal & Blu Mankuma (Lyrics)

On the way back from a Holiday in Genting, Malaysia... 
I was watching this movie called '2012' and it had this Jazz song. 
Love it! Love the Walking Bass!

It Ain't the End of the World ~ George Segal & Blu Mankuma (Lyrics)
(It Ain't the End of the World, It's Just The End Of This Song)
performed by George Segal & Blu Mankuma, 
they were featured in the actual film of 2012.

I got a feeling that the wind has changed
And those leaves are starting to churn
My hair's going gray and I must convey
My figure has seen better days

Well don't you despair, 'cause I got it made
A motto I choose to believe
If your life's a lemon then... make lemonade
There's always a final reprieve

It ain't the end of the world, buddy
Life rolls along like before
There's a twist and a turn
To each lesson you learn
First you're up then you're bust
Living life on a crust
But it ain't the end of the world
It's only a fly in your soup
If your car falls apart
Or a broad breaks your heart
It's a stink, just a kink
Nothing more

They say we're getting rusty, we should take a bow
Throw a saddle on that mule and disappear
You first, 'cause I'm not quite done and we're still having fun
Just like wine getting better every year

'Cause it ain't the end of the world, buddy
Life rolls along like before
It's a pain in the neck'
And a pain in the back
But it ain't the end of the world

So smile when they show you to the door
There's a sunrise waiting on the other shore
Go ride your luck in the face of disaster
Make every moment a blast-er

It ain't the end of the world, buddy
Life rolls along like before
There's a twist and a turn
To each lesson you learn
First you're up then you're bust
Living life on a crust
But it ain't the end of the world, buddy
It's only the end of this song
It's been a gas, been a flip
Been a hell of a trip
But it ain't the end of the world

Dramatic Irony:
Immediately after scenes of wanton destruction, 
the cruise ship musicians Harry and Tony sing a song with the lyrics 
"It's not the end of the world/It's just the end of this song."
