Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh
Chorus
(OH) Life is like a see-saw, it has its ups and downs.
Sometimes it brings us happy smiles, sometimes it makes us frown.
When your up, your up and when your down your down.
So when your up, you know what, you really go ta town.
Your always in a hurry, ya haven’t time ta wait.
Ye slam the door behind ye and run out through the gate.
Your planning for the future, your trying to get in shape.
And when you think your really right, ye end up in a heap.
Chorus
(OH) Life is like a see-saw, it has its ups and downs.
Sometimes it brings us happy smiles, sometimes it makes us frown.
When your up, your up and when your down your down.
So when your up, you know what, you really go ta town.
Ye think ye are the bees knees, their’s no one else like you.
Your so proud of yourself, ye don’t know what ta do.
Your spending loads of money, what ye haven’t earned yet.
And when ye cannot pay it back, its then ye start ta fret.
Chorus
(OH) Life is like a see-saw, it has its ups and downs.
Sometimes it brings us happy smiles, sometimes it makes us frown.
When your up, your up and when your down, your down.
So when your up you know what, ye really go ta town.
We all have fancy plastic cars, a handy way ta spend.
Don’t forget the bank wants back every thing they lend.
At Christmas time and holidays, its great ta have a card.
But when ya cannot pay it back, your really up the yard.
Chorus
(OH) Life is like a see-saw, it has its ups and downs.
Sometimes it brings us happy smiles, sometimes it makes us frown.
When your up, your up and when your down, your down.
So when your up you know what, ye really go ta town.
So up or down, ye know what, ye really upside down!!.
