I got a feeling that the wind has changed And those leaves are starting to churn My hair's going gray and I must convey My figure has seen better days
Well don't you despair, 'cause I got it made A motto I choose to believe If your life's a lemon, and made lemonade There's always a final reprieve
It ain't the end of the world, buddy Life rolls along like before There's a twist and a turn To each lesson you learn First you're up then you're bust Living life on a crust But it ain't the end of the world It's only a fly in your soup If your car falls apart Or a broad breaks your heart It's a stink, just a kink Nothing more
They say we're getting rusty, we should take a bow Throw a saddle on that mule and disappear You first, 'cause I'm not quite done and we're still having fun Just like wine getting better every year
'Cause it ain't the end of the world, buddy Life rolls along like before It's a pain in the neck' And a pain in the back But it ain't the end of the world
So smile when they show you to the door There's a sunrise waiting on the other shore Go ride your luck in the face of disaster Make every moment a blast-er
It ain't the end of the world, buddy Life rolls along like before There's a twist and a turn To each lesson you learn First you're up then you're bust Living life on a crust But it ain't the end of the world, buddy It's only the end of this song It's been a gas, been a flip Been a hell of a trip But it ain't the end of the world
