That's life. That's what the people say. You're riding high in April. Shot down in May. I know I've got to change my tune. When I get back up on top in June. That's life. Funny as it may seem. Some people get their kicks from stepping on a dream. I don't let it get me down. This big old world keeps spinning round. Chorus. I've been a puppet a pauper a pirate a poet a pawn and a king. I've been up down over and out. And I know one thing. Every 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 wouldn't buy it. If I don't think it's worth a try. I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die. Chorus. Last verse. Bye bye. Bye bye.
