Where Everybody Knows Your Name by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo - Cheers Lyrics


Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got. 
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot. 

Wouldn't you like to get away? 

Sometimes you want to go 

Where everybody knows your name, 
and they're always glad you came. 
You wanna be where you can see, 
our troubles are all the same 
You wanna be where everybody knows 
Your name. 

You wanna go where people know, 
people are all the same, 
You wanna go where everybody knows 
your name. 

Full Lyrics never actually aired 

Making your way in the world today 
Takes everything you've got; 
Taking a break from all your worries 
Sure would help a lot. 
Wouldn't you like to get away? 

All those night when you've got no lights, 
The check is in the mail; 
And your little angel 
Hung the cat up by it's tail; 
And your third fiance didn't show; 

Sometimes you want to go 
Where everybody knows your name, 
And they're always glad you came; 
You want to be where you can see, 
Our troubles are all the same; 
You want to be where everybody knows your name. 

Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead; 
The morning's looking bright; 
And your shrink ran off to Europe, 
And didn't even write; 
And your husband wants to be a girl; 

Be glad there's one place in the world 
Where everybody knows your name, 
And they're always glad you came; 
You want to go where people know, 
People are all the same; 
You want to go where everybody knows your name. 

Where everybody knows your name, 
And they're always glad you came; 
Where everybody knows your name, 
And they're always glad you came...

The theory of mankind

This being a part of my forthcoming book, the theory of existence.

Since the beginning of existence there is one rule prevalent in the universe, if a species develops in any way that is counterproductive to its survival, it does not last long.

Take an example of Dinosaurs, the largest predator on the planet. They ruled the planet taking over everything that they could step foot on.There was actually no means of extinction...hence suddenly there was a meteor shower to destroy them all.

Or take the Brontotheres, a lumbering herd animal that lived some 55 to 30 million years ago. Its size alone protected it from most of the predators of the time. But nature made a mistake, purposely, when designing this brute. Instead of fabricating its impressive horn of cartiliage or hair, like todays Rhino, nature choose to sculpt it of bone which shatters...extinction followed.

After the dinosaurs perished, the gastornis became the earth most efficient hunter. But this bird grew too large to nest in the trees, and so its vulnerable hatclings became prey to insects. Extinction.

Mankind started to involve right in between these large predators, some getting extinct due to us. The primary intention of mankind is survival, the nature trying hard to destroy mankind while humans resisting it with a single weapon, brain.
Then the nature decided to employ a new method to destroy mankind, religion. Man was never a social animal, everything man did was to impress the females and other men.
That developed into a society and started the downfall of the mankind.

The downfall of mankind started with the rise of God worship or religion. Praising your creator is a good habit, but fighting over the creator is definitely not good for health. The downfall is like a wall of dominoes, every tile collapsing one after the other. The downfall of mankind is inevitable, it is just the question of how and when?

With the rise of new species? With the expiry date of mankind getting over? Lets pray together (to whichever God you worship) to give us the strength against nature and its forces.
