Life Has It's Funny Ups & Downs
Many many years ago
I heard my teacher say
don't Worry about your worries
they're not permanent
And they won't linger on
Troubles are just like lollipops
They're here
They're gone
And if there's a dolly for which you yearn
Don't let it bring you sorrow
Just you wait the tide will turn
And the dolly that you can get today
Maybe in your arms tomorrow
Life has its funny little ups and downs
Downs and ups
Ups and downs
Life has its funny little opsy daisy crazy ups and downs
Rainy and tiny little ups and downs
Tears and smiles
Grins and frowns
Life has its funny little seesaw Humpty Dumpty ups and downs
Watch out when you're high on the hilltop
Or you will top all over with an awful cut
Up and down you go
And one pretty day you're a great big stiff
Next day you're a stick in the mud
You rise and fall like a bouncing ball
Like a little tensing yo-yo
Life has its funny little ups and downs
Downs and ups
Ups and downs
So don't you sit around and simper don't you wipper like a pup
For just when things are looking down
Things start looking up
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
Life has its funny little ups and downs
Watch out when you're high on the hilltop
Or you will top all over with an awful cut
Up and down you go
And one pretty day you're a great big stiff
Next day you're a stick in the mud
You rise and fall like a bouncing ball
Like a little tensing yo-yo
Life has its funny little ups and downs
Downs and ups
Ups and downs
So don't you sit around and simper don't you wipper like a pup
For just when things are looking down
Things start looking up
I heard my teacher say
don't Worry about your worries
they're not permanent
And they won't linger on
Troubles are just like lollipops
They're here
They're gone
And if there's a dolly for which you yearn
Don't let it bring you sorrow
Just you wait the tide will turn
And the dolly that you can get today
Maybe in your arms tomorrow
Life has its funny little ups and downs
Downs and ups
Ups and downs
Life has its funny little opsy daisy crazy ups and downs

Life has its funny little seesaw Humpty Dumpty ups and downs
Watch out when you're high on the hilltop
Or you will top all over with an awful cut

And one pretty day you're a great big stiff
Next day you're a stick in the mud
You rise and fall like a bouncing ball

For just when things are looking down
Things start looking up
