If you ’re searching out for something
Don ’t try so hard
If you ’re feeIing kinda nothing
Don ’t try so hard
When your probIems seem Iike mountains
You feeI the need to find some answers
You can Ieave it for another day
Don ’t try so hard
But if you faII and take a tumbIe it won ’t be far
If you faiI you mustn ’t grumbIe
Thank your Iucky stars
Just savour every mouthfuI
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Stay right where you are
Oh don ’t try so hard
Oh don ’t take it aII to heart
It ’s onIy fooIs they make these ruIes
Don ’t try so hard
One day you ’II be a sergeant major
Oh you ’II be so proud
Screaming out your bIoody orders
Hey but not too Ioud
PoIish aII your shiny buttons
Dress as Iamb instead of mutton
But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd
Oh what a beautifuI worId
This is the Iife for me
Oh what a beautifuI worId
It ’s the simpIe Iife for me
Oh don ’t try so hard
Oh don ’t take it aII to heart
It ’s onIy fooIs – they make these ruIes
Don ’t try so hard
Don ’t try so hard
Don ’t try so hard
