Listen little brothers

To what I'm puttin' down

You know this world is a funny old world

And it just goes round and round



That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

Oh Brothers, where it ends nobody knows

That's the way it goes



When you're a winner

You've got lots of friends

And everybody loves you so

But when things change

Your good luck ends

Where did everybody go?



That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

Oh Brothers, where it ends nobody knows

That's the way it goes



You've got a baby 

And you love her so

She says that you're her only pearl

Here comes your buddy and he says Hello

And its Goodbye little girl



That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

Oh Brothers, where it ends nobody knows

That's the way it goes



Now listen little brothers

There's a game that you've been taught

Do everything like everybody else

But don't you ever get caught



That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

Oh Brothers, where it ends nobody knows

That's the way it goes



Now that guy over there

He shouts all day

That he's gonna make the world fall down

But this old world is a funny old world

And it still goes round and round



That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

Oh Brothers, where it ends nobody knows

That's the way it goes



That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

Oh Brother, where it ends nobody knows

That's the way it goes
