Bassey, Shirley - That's Life Lyrics
That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.
I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down,
'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That's life
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, My

I'm right there with you Emma! Ms. Bassey has this extraordinary vocal ability to change up her vocal vibrato & timbre to match the genre of song that she sings. Just Extraordinary! Regards, Scot
Can't listen to this enough... REPLAY
This song was not written especially for Frank Sinatra. It was originally recorded two years before Sinatra's version by Marion Montgomery, US jazz singer, who later lived in the United Kingdom for many years.
Thank you very much NoShy! There is just something inspiring about working with Shirley's music and pictures...Regards, Scot
- That picture was taken from Shirley's appearance on the Red Skelton Show, back in the early 60's. As you probably know, Shirley started in show business as a chorus girl in the early 50's so she was right at home with a song/dance number. I would love to locate some of Shirley's Red Skelton Show footage, but haven't been successful,,,,yet!

These are great photos! Especially the one at :31. She must have been copying Julie Garland one of her mentors. She does this so so expertly too. Long Live Dame Shirley. Thanks Scot
