(Don't let it get you, don't let it get you down
For this world keeps on spinning 'round)
That's what all the people say
I know I'm gonna change that tune
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,
I've been up & down & over & out
Each time I find myself, flat on this face
I pick myself up & get back in the race
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,
I've been up & down & over & out
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up & get back in the race
Many times I thought of cutting out
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July
