(Don't let it get you don't let it get you down For this world keeps on spinning 'round) That's life That's what all the people say You're riding high in April You're shot down in May I know I'm gonna change that tune When I'm back on top in June I say that's life & as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks Stompin' on your dreams But I don't let it let it get me down 'Cause this fine ol' world keeps spinning 'round I've been a puppet a pauper a pirate A poet a pawn & a king I've been up & down & over & out But I know one thing Each time I find myself flat on this face I pick myself up & get back in the race That's life I can't deny it I thought of quitting baby This heart wasn't gonna buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try I'd jump right on a big bird & then I'd fly I've been a puppet a pauper a pirate A poet a pawn & a king I've been up & down & over & out And I know one thing Each time I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up & get back in the race That's life That's life & I can't deny it Many times I thought of cutting out But my heart won't buy it But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July I'm gonna roll I'm gonna roll I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball & die Can't deny it That's life
