George Olsen

The moon belongs to ev'ryone
The best things in life are free
The stars belong to ev'ryone
They gleam there for you and me
The flowers in spring
The robins that sing
The sunbeams that shine
They're yours, they're mine
And love can come to ev'ryone
The best things in life are free

I'm not sure who said it, but my high school economics teacher used to say "There's no such thing as a free lunch." So I guess lunch isn't one of the best things in life.

That's from a Beatles song, also the same Waylon Jennings song.

Free is nice. An *** whipping is free but is it a best thing in life?
