Intro: That's life, that's what all the people say You're ridin' 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 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 get me down 'Cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' 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 just pick myself up and get back in the race That's life, oh, that's life and I can't deny it Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try Well, I'd on a big bird and then I'd fly I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn, oh, 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 just pick myself up and get back in the race That's life, oh, and I can't deny it Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it And if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July Well, I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die 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 get me down 'Cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' around
