That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top in June.

I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin' on a dream
But I ain't gonna let it get me down,
'Cause this fine ol' world
will keep 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 ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think that it was
worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and 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 pick myself up and
get back in the race

That's life,
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought
of cutting out
But my heart ain't gonna buy it
But if there's nothing shakin'
come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up
in a big ball and die
Bye, Bye
