The Life of Riley, with William Bendix in the title role, is a popular American radio situation comedy series of the 1940s that was adapted into a 1949 feature film, a long-run 1950s television series (originally with Jackie Gleason as Riley for one truncated season, then with Bendix for six seasons), and a 1958 comic book.
The show began as a proposed Groucho Marx radio series, The Flotsam Family, but the sponsor balked at what would have been essentially a straight head-of-household role for the comedian. (Marx went on to host Blue Ribbon Town from 1943 to 1944 and then You Bet Your Life from 1947 to 1961.) Then creator and producer Irving Brecher saw Bendix as taxicab company owner Tim McGuerin in Hal Roach's The McGuerins from Brooklyn (1942). Brecher stated "He was a Brooklyn guy and there was something about him. I thought, This guy could play it. He'd made a few films, like Lifeboat, but he was not a name. So I took The Flotsam Family script, revised it, made it a Brooklyn Family, took out the flippancies and made it more meat-and-potatoes, and thought of a new title, The Life of Riley. Bendix's delivery and the spin he put on his lines made it work."

I'm questioning all that you are,
Accused of neglecting,
The truth plain in sight,
The judge is the conscience,
The jury mankind.
What about you now,
what about your fault,
How can you live with the hurt you allowed.
Bow your head in shame and see,
Who's flawed, who's fake,
Who gets fucked 'till he bleeds.
'Cause you've
Only known the life of Riley,
Never been a poor street whore.
Hey, what does the mirror reveal,
A grimace created by lies and deceit.
How can you boast about life on the wild side,
Despising a real man who fights for his meal.
What about you now,
What about your fault,
How can live with the hurts you allowed.
Never ever tasted shit,
The silver spoon's got in the way!
Only known the life of Riley,
Never been a poor street whore.
Only known the life of Riley,
