| If you’re searching out for something —
|
| Don’t try so hard
|
| If you’re feeling kinda nothing —
|
| Don’t try so hard
|
| When your problems seem like mountains
|
| You feel the need to find some answers
|
| You can leave them for another day
|
| Don’t try so hard
|
| But if you fall and take a tumble —
|
| It won’t be far
|
| If you fail you mustn’t grumble —
|
| Thank your lucky stars
|
| Just savour every mouthful
|
| And treasure every moment
|
| When the storms are raging round you
|
| Stay right where you are
|
| Don’t try so hard
|
| Oooh don’t take it all to heart
|
| It’s only fools they make these rules
|
| Don’t try so hard
|
| One day you'll be a sergeant major
|
| Oh you'll be so proud
|
| Screaming out your bloody orders
|
| Hey but not too loud
|
| Polish all your shiny buttons
|
| Dress as lamb instead of mutton
|
| But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd
|
| Oh what a beautiful world
|
| This is the life for me
|
| Oh what a beautiful world
|
| It's the simple life for me
|
| Oh don't try so hard
|
| Oh don't take it all to heart
|
| It's only fools - they make these rules
|
| Don't try so hard
|
| Don't try so hard
|
| Don't try so hard |
