that’s life that’s life that’s what all the 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 back on top in june
i said that’s life that’s life and as funny as it may seem
some people get their kicks stompin’ on a dream
but i don’t let it let it get me down
’cause this fine old world it keeps 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 that’s life i tell ya i can’t deny it
i thought of quitting baby
but my heart just ain’t gonna buy it
and if i didn’t think it was worth one single try
i’d jump right on 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 laying flat on my face
i just pick myself up and get back in the race
that’s life that’s life that’s life and i can’t deny it
many times i thought of cutting out but my heart won’t buy it
but if there’s nothing shaking come this here july
i’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
