That’s Life - SMASH Cast

That’s Life, a song made famous by Frank Sinatra, performed by Megan Hilty and Katharine McPhee in Opening Night. Lyrics: Ivy: That’s life, that’s what people say You’re riding high in April, Shot down in May But I know I’m gonna change their tune When I’m back, back on top in June Karen: Mmmm, that’s life, funny as it seem Some people get their kicks Steppin’ on a dream (Ivy) But I just can’t let them get me down, no, no ’Cause this big old world keeps spinnin’ around Ivy: I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn and a queen Karen: I’ve been up and down and over and out And, oh, the drama I’ve seen Ivy: Each time I find myself flat on my face Karen: I pick myself up and get back in the race Both: That’s life Karen: Oh, I can’t deny it Ivy: I thought of quittin’ Oh, but my friends just wouldn’t buy
