Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries

"Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries" is a popular song with music by Ray Henderson and lyrics by Lew Brown, published in 1931. Ethel Merman introduced this song in George White's Scandals of 1931. A Rudy Vallée version, recorded in 1931, achieved success. The song was revived in 1953 by singer Jaye P. Morgan.

The song title gave rise to the revue of Henderson's music called It's the Cherries, which launched the American Composer Series in 2000.
