That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, you're shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
And I said, that's life (that's life) and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks from stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps 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
But I know one thing
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face
I just pick myself up to 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 quitting out
But my heart wouldn't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this year in July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, my-
