IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Take It In Your Stride

[Verse:]

Hey, there, you

You're on the top shelf

Your skies are blue

Pleased with yourself

Well, don't you get too cocky

The road is rocky

A-way up there

Life is sweet

Rosy and round

But keep your feet

Close to the ground

The weather won't be always fair



[Refrain:]

There'll be ups and there'll be downs

There'll be smiles and there'll be frowns

There'll be hopes and there'll be doubts, ins and outs

But whatever the fates decide

Take it in your stride



There'll be rain and there'll be sun

You'll have all and you'll have none

Hitch your wagon to a star, travel far

But you're in for a bumpy ride

Take it in your stride



There'll be friends both new and old

They'll blow hot and they'll blow cold

You'll be cheered and you'll be hissed, kicked and kissed

But whatever the fates decide

Take it in your stride



Don't get too big for your crown

What goes up may soon come down

Someone's waiting down below, set to go

Coming in on the rising tide

Take it in your stride
