Don't Try Too Hard

If you're searching out for somethingDon't try so hardIf you're feeling kinda nothingDon't try so hardWhen your problems seem like mountainsYou feel the need to find some answersYou can leave it for another dayDon't try so hardBut if you fall and take a tumble it won't be farIf you fail you mustn't grumbleThank your lucky starsJust savour every mouthfulAnd treasure every momentWhen the storms are raging round youStay right where you areOh don't try so hardOh don't take it all to heartIt's only fools they make these rulesDon't try so hardOne day you'll be a sergeant majorOh you'll be so proudScreaming out your bloody ordersHey but not too loudPolish all your shiny buttonsDress as lamb instead of muttonBut you never had to try to stand out from the crowdOh what a beautiful worldThis is the life for meOh what a beautiful worldIt's the simple life for meOh don't try so hardOh don't take it all to heartIt's only fools - they make these rulesDon't try so hardDon't try so hardDon't try so hard
