That's Life, That's What People Say.

You're Riding' High In April,

Shot Down In May.

But I Know I'm Gonna Change That Tune,

When I'm Back On Top In June.



That's Life, Funny As It Seems.

Some People Get Their Kicks,

Steppin' On Dreams;

But I Don't Let It Get Me Down,

'Cause This Ol' Word Keeps Getting 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 Can't Deny It,

I Thought Of Quitting,

But My Heart Just Won't Buy It.

If I Didn't Think It Was Worth A Try,

I'd Roll Myself Up In A Big Ball And Die.
