There’s Nothing Like It

Lyrics
[MAN 2] There's nothing like it There's nothing like it in the world This lovely feeling of well-being What you're seeing Is a man who's incredibly fit Would you believe it That once I weighted two hundred fifty? I was as pudgy as a pig Not just big I was fat, I was gross But now I'm trim and nifty God reached His hand down and granted me a gifty Health [WOMAN 1 & MAN 2] I feel so healthy (There's nothing like it in the world) [WOMAN 1] And you can bet the moment I zip up my sweater [MAN 2, spoken] Wow [WOMAN 1] I feel better [MAN 2, spoken] Pow [WOMAN 1 & MAN 2] It's so (It's) [WOMAN 1 & MAN 2] Great to feel fit This is it! [MAN 1, MAN 2 & WOMAN 1] Would you believe it? (There's nothing) (Thеre's) Two years ago I felt a (Likе it) (Nothing) Chest pain (There's nothing like) (Like it) I heard my doctor mention stroke (It) [MAN 2] I bought the gym shorts [MAN 1] And I broke [WOMAN 1] I bought the sweatsuit [MAN 1] Bought some weights [MAN 2] I bought the snorkel [MAN 1] Gave up coke [WOMAN 1] I bought the wetsuit [MAN 1] Joined a gym [WOMAN 1 & MAN 2] That's when our psyches [MAN 1] Bought a bike [WOMAN 1 & MAN 2] Began to feed us [MAN 1] Learned to swim [WOMAN 1 & MAN 2] We bought the Nikes [MAN 1] Learned to hike [WOMAN 1 & MAN 2] And the Adidas [WOMAN 2] Bought a scale Which showed I had to take control below And so I bought myself [WOMAN 2 & MAN 2] "Jane Fonda" (One, two, one, two) Have you noticed that in the Fonda family (One, two, one, two) [WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2] Jane is thin? (One and two and young, too) [WOMAN 2, WOMAN 1, MAN 1 & MAN 2] And Peter's thin (One and two and young, too) And Hank was thin (Wonder if I'm getting) They're just thin (Younger? Yes, I'm feeling younger) And they've always been (Younger, one and two) And getting younger The Fondas (Younger, younger, younger) Are thin people! (Younger, younger, younger, young) [WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2] There's nothing like it There's nothing like it in the world It must be wonderful to witness All this fitness How we wish we were you watching us [MAN 1 & MAN 2, WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2] Would you believe it (Would you believe this turn of fate) Once I was not considered sexy? (That once I could not get a date?) Now I'm considered quite the stud (As I perspire) Full of beans (My future's brighter) Hotter blood (My breasts are higher) Tighter jeans (My buns are tighter) [WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2] Now life is fun and free of all those tensions 'Til I run into the thing nobody mentions Pain! [WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2, spoken] Ugh! Pain! Ugh! [MAN 1, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2 & MAN 2, spoken] Pain, I feel pain in my calves, in my thighs (Pain!) In my heart (Pain!) In the blood pounding deep in my eyes [WOMAN 2 & MAN 1, WOMAN 1 & MAN 2] Well, it's good when you hurt (Pain!) Yes, it's good when you strive When you hurt, you're awake (Pain!) When you ache, you're alive [WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2] I read in a book that the pain that you feel Is the right sort of pain It's the proof that you're real I've read all the books And I live them all day And I heard what they wrote And all I can say is Bullshit! Bullshit! Hush now What's this rush now? After torturing my bod Can it be there's a God after all? [WOMAN 1 & MAN 1] I think I'm breaking through the wall And all at once I'm standing tall [WOMAN 2 & MAN 2] I can feel my backbone lengthen Shoulders straighten Heartbeat strengthen [WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2] Look there, the home stretch I'm filled with grace from facing the odds The thrill of the chase as I race with the gods Is like nothing in the world And I am never growing old And I am going for the gold And my life story will be sold 'Cause I'm like nothing in the world!
