That’s life – That’s what all the people say
You’re ridin’ high in april, shot down in may
But I know I’m gonna change that tune
When I’m back on top, back on top in june
I say that’s life, and its funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks steppin’ on a dream
But I don’t let it, let it get me down
Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinning around
I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet –a pawn and a king
I’ve been up and down and over and out –and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That’s life –I tell you- I can’t deny it
I thought of quittin’, baby, but my heart just ain’t gonna buy it
And if I didn’t think it was worth one single try
I’d jump right on a big bird an then I’d fly
I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet –a pawn and a king
I’ve been up and down and over and out –and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That’s life –I tell you- I can’t deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin’ out, but my heart won’t buy it
But if there’s nothing shakin’ come this here july
I’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball..
And die
My, my ....
