I remember when I was a little girl, our house caught on fire I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up In his arms and raced through the Burning building out on the pavement And I stood there shivering in my pajamas And watched the whole world go up in flames And when it was all over I said to myself Is that all there is to a fire? Is that all there is, is that all there is? If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is And when I was twelve years old My daddy took me to the circus, the greatest show on Earth There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads And as I sat there watching I had the feeling that something was missing I don't know what, but when it was over I said to myself Is that all there is to the circus? Is that all there is, is that all there is? If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is And then I fell in love With the most wonderful boy in the world We'd take long walks by the river or Just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes We were so very much in love Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't And when I didn't I said to myself Is that all there is to love? Is that all there is, is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep I know what you must be saying to yourselves If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all? Oh, no, not me, I'm not ready for that final disappointment Because I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you That when that final moment comes and I'm Breathing my last breath, I'll be saying to myself Is that all there is, is that all there is? If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is

A canção “Is That All There Is?” foi escrita pela dupla americana de compositores Jerry Leiber e Mike Stoller e inicialmente interpretada por Georgia Brown em um especial de TV em maio de 1967.
Embora o primeiro disco tenha sido gravado pelo DJ Dan Daniel em março de 1968, a gravação foi considerada não autorizada e não foi lançada a pedido dos compositores.
A primeira gravação autorizada foi feita por Leslie Uggams em agosto de 1968, antes da versão que se tornou sucesso de Peggy Lee.
Na interpretação de Peggy Lee, o arranjo orquestral foi composto e conduzido por Randy Newman, que também tocou piano na introdução da música.
O single de Peggy Lee alcançou a posição 11 nas paradas pop dos EUA, foi número 1 na lista Adult Contemporary e chegou ao número 6 no Canadá, marcando seu primeiro Top 40 desde “Fever” (há 11 anos).
A gravação rendeu a Peggy Lee o Grammy de Melhor Performance Vocal Pop Feminina e, posteriormente, foi incluída no Grammy Hall of Fame.
