Lyrics for That's Life - Live At The Apollo Theater, 1967

It's getting late in the evening I can't get right I guess I did the boogaloo and the skate And the funky Broadway Too much last night, yeah, I feel it too But I want you to know It ain't no sin 'Cause I'm right here To do it all over again But that's life That's what the people say You're riding high in April Shot down in May But I guess I, I gotta change that tune When I'm back on top, on top in June That's life As funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks From stomping on a dream But I'll never, I'll never let it get me down As sure as this big old world keeps spinning 'round I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate, a poet A pawn and a king I've been up and down, over and out But I know one thing Every time I feel that I'm gonna fall Flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race That's life There's no need to deny it I thought of cutting out once But this old heart just ain't gonna buy it But I know that things gonna be shaking by come see July Ha, looka here, I wanna know do you know what I'm talking about, help I've been a poet, a puppet, a pirate, ha-ha A pawn and a king I've been up and down, over and out But I know one thing Every time I feel that I'm gonna fall Flat on my face, now you try it Pick yourself up and get back in the race That's life There's no need to deny it I started to quit about three or four months ago But my fans just wouldn't buy So things gonna be shaking by come see July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball (Yeah) I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball (Yeah) And then I'm gonna get a soul sister from over there now (Yeah) Gonna get me a soul sister for my hair now (Yeah) Got to find a fox for my there now (Yeah) Gonna have a good time (Yeah) Gonna have a good time (Yeah) Oh yeah (Yeah) Oh yeah (Yeah) Yeah
