According to Pythonline's Fake Openings, here are 3 drafts of the Meaning Of Life's theme song
THEME SONG
From the original script of THE MEANING OF LIFE
There's everything in this movie
Everything that fits
From the meaning of life in the Universe
To girls with great big tits
We've got movie stars and foreign cars
Explosions and the lot
Filmed as only we know how
On the budget that we've got
We've spent a fortune on locations
And quite a bit on drink
And there's even the odd philosophical joke
Just to make you buggers think
Yes, some parts are as serious
And as deep as you could wish
But largely it's all tits and arse
And quite a lot of fish
Other bits are fairly childish
And some are frankly rude
But at least we've got a lot of nice girls
All banging around in the nude
So take your seats enjoy yourselves
And let's just hope wazzu it's funny
Because it's not only done to make you laugh
But to make us lots of money
Yes sit back and have a good time
With your boyfriend or your wife
Relax and just enjoy yourselves
For this is The Meaning of Life...
The Original Theme Song for
THE MEANING OF LIFE
Below we have the original lyrics for The Theme Song for The Meaning of Life, discovered and presented by
Roger Saunders of Mayday - to whom many thanks.
Incidentally any relationship to the song later sung by Gary Shandling on his first series is purely co-incidental
and shows the inevitability of all good ideas.
This is the theme song
Of this motion picture
You are about to see
Theme song
This is the marvellous theme song
And it was written specially
For you by me
Theme song
I'm singing this great theme song
At the front of this fine movie
While they put up the names
Of all the chappies on location
And all the people who helped
To make possible
The theme song
I'm in a studio singing you
The theme song For quite a bit of money
Which they are going to give me
When I've sung the theme song
The Monty Python theme song
For their latest movie
Which has cost a fair amount of money
Much more than they expected
So they're hoping
They can make a little extra
From the theme song
The Monty Python theme song
The Monty Python theme song
From their latest movie
Sung by me.
Is that it?
That's it, thank you.
THE MEANING OF LIFE
(Part Two)
Why are we here, what is life all about?
Is God really real, or is there some doubt?
In the next ninety minutes we'll sort it all out,
For tonight It's the Meaning of Life.
What's the point of it all? or is it a hoax?
Is it chicken and egg time, or are we just yolks?
Or perhaps we're just one of God's little jokes,
Well this is the Meaning of Life.
Is life just a game where we make up the rules,
While we're searching for something to say?
Or are we just simply spiraling coils of self replicating DNA?
Is there life after death, oh what is our fate?
Is there Heaven and Hell? Do we reincarnate?
Is mankind evolving or is it too late?
Well tonight here's the Meaning of Life.
For millions this life is a sad veil of tears.
While the cynical think it's just funny.
But tonight we've sorted the whole damn thing out,
And we've even used Hollywood money.
So just who we are and why we are here,
Tonight for a change will all be made clear.
So sit back and relax and lend us an ear,
For this is the Meaning of Life.
And for those who are interested (and want me to keep on writing), here is the final theme of The Meaning of Life.
THE MEANING OF LIFE
Why are we here, what's life all about?
Is God really real, or is there some doubt?
Well tonight we're going to sort it all out,
For tonight it's the Meaning of Life.
What's the point of all this hoax?
Is it the chicken and egg time, are we just yolks?
Or perhaps we're just one of God's little jokes,
Well ça c'est the Meaning of Life.
Is life just a game where we make up the rules
While we're searching for something to say
Or are we just simply spiralling coils
Of self-replicating DNA?
(nay nay nay nay nay nay)
In this life, what is our fate?
Is there Heaven and Hell? Do we reincarnate?
Is mankind evolving, or is it too late?
Well tonight here's the Meaning of Life.
For millions this life is a sad vale of tears
Sitting round with rien, nothing to say
While the scientists say we're just simply spiralling coils
Of self-replicating DNA.
(nay nay nay nay nay nay)
So just why, why are we here?
And just what, what, what, what do we fear?
Well çe soir, for a change, it will all be made clear,
For this is the Meaning of Life - c'est le sens de la vie -
This is the Meaning of Life.
