That's life, that's what 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, back on top in june
Mmmm, that's life, funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Steppin' on a dream (ivy)
But I just can't let them get me down, no, no
'Cause this big old world keeps spinnin' around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a queen
I've been up and down and over and out
And, oh, the drama I've seen
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
Oh, I can't deny it
I thought of quittin'
Oh, but my friends just wouldn't buy it
But if I thought it wasn't worth a try
Oh, I'd just jump right up on that big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a queen
I've been up and down and over and out
And, oh, the drama we've seen
Each time we find ourselves
Flat on our face
We pick ourselves up and get back in the race
That's life
That's life
Oh, I can't deny it
I thought of quittin'
But eileen just won't buy it
So sister
Mother
Broadway star
Or wife
I just thank god for the present
The present
That's life
That's life
