That’s the way it is by golly
That’s the way it is by golly
That’s the way it is by golly
That’s the way it is
People come and people go
Some say yes and some say no
I just smile and shrug my shoulders
That’s the way it is
Chorus
Life is like a merry-go-round
Sometimes up and sometimes down
I just smile and shrug my shoulders
That’s the way it is
Chorus
We can laugh and we can cry
First we’re born and then we die
I just smile and shrug my shoulders
That’s the way it is
Chorus
When my Mother tells me no
I don’t tell her where to go
I just smile and shrug my shoulders
That’s the way it is
Chorus
When I come home from a date
And Mom gets mad and says I’m late
I just smile and shrug my shoulders
That’s the way it is
Chorus
When I’m smokin’ in my room
And my Dad yells with the voice of doom
I just smile and shrug my shoulders
That’s the way it is
Chorus
When I’m feelin’ sad and lonely
`Cause I don’t have my one and only
I just smile and shrug my shoulders
That’s the way it is
Chorus
When I spend the whole day cookin’
And it burns when I’m not lookin’
I just smile and shrug my shoulders
That’s the way it is
Chorus
When I slave for every penny
And my wife won’t save us any
I just smile and shrug my shoulders
That’s the way it is
Chorus
When my grandson and I can’t rap
I don’t blame it on the generation gap
I just smile and shrug my shoulders
That’s the way it is
Chorus
When anything in my life goes wrong
I just sing this simple song
I just smile and shrug my shoulders
That’s the way it is
Chorus
