That's Life Songtext
von Rich Little

That′s life (that's life) that′s what all people say
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change their 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,
Steppin′ on a dream
But I just can'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
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 you, 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 flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race


That's life (that′s life), that′s life, I can't deny it,
Many times I thought of cuttin′ out, but my heart won't buy it
But if there′s nothing shaken come here this July,
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, my
