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
Dressed as lamb instead of mutton
But you never had to try To stand out from the crowd
Oh what a beautiful world
Is this 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.
