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
That's life,
and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let em get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' round
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,
oh you no i can't deny it
Many times I've thought of quitting baby,
but my heart won't buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth
one single try
Well I'd hop upon a big bird
and 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,
oh no I can't deny it Many times I thought of cuttin' out
but my heart won't buy it
And if there's nothin' shakin' if come this July
Well I'm gonna roll myself In a little ball and die
That's life,
and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let em get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' round
