[Interlude (Spoken): Elizabeth Gillies]
I remember when I was a little girl
Our house caught on fire
I'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me up in his arms, and raced me through the burning building onto the pavement
And I stood there shivering in my pijamas, and watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over I said to myself
"Is that all there is to a fire?"
"Is that all there is?"
[Chorus: Elizabeth Gillies]
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
[Interlude (Spoken): Elizabeth Gillies]
And when I was 12 years old, my daddy took me to the circus
The greatest show on earth
There were clowns and elephants
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what
When it was all over I said to myself
"Is that all there is to the circus?"
"Is that all there is?"
[Chorus: Elizabeth Gillies]
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
[Interlude (Spoken): Elizabeth Gillies]
And then I fell in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love
Then one day he went away and I thought I might die
But I didn't
And when I didn't, I said to myself
"Is that all there is to love?"
[Bridge: Elizabeth Gillies]
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep...
[Interlude (Spoken): Elizabeth Gillies]
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, no
No, not me
I'm not ready for that final disappointment
Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
And when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath
I'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 dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
