When I was a boy in school
Learning the Golden Rule
I had a crush on my teacher
She was a beautiful creature

When I look at kids today
I think of how we used to play
She taught all us boys and girls
This little song about the real, real world
She said now class

If it will it will, and if it won't it won't
If it does it does, yeah if it don't it don't
Some days are good, some bad you know
That's the way it goes

Give the wheel of life a spin, see where it lands
Let your spirit fly free, enjoy yourself while you can
Don't be in a hurry
And don't ever make plans

'Cause if it will it will, and if it won't it won't
If it does it does, hey, if it don't it don't
Life is not always so smooth
And Murphy's Law is gonna rule

You know the river's gonna flow, wherever it wants to go
And if the rain wants to fall, you can't stop it at all
No one has ever had control
Over this world, don't you know?

'Cause if it will it will
(If it will it will)
And if it won't it won't
(If it won't it won't)
If it does it does
(If it does it does)
And if it don't it don't
(If it don't it don't)
Life is not always so smooth
And Murphy's Law is gonna rule

'Cause if it will it will
(If it will it will)
If it won't it won't
(If it won't it won't)
If it does it does it does
(If it does it does)
If it don't it don't
(If it don't it don't)
No one has ever had control
Over this old world don't you know
Ain't it so?

(If it will it will, if it won't it won't)
(If it does it does, if it don't it don't)

No one has ever had control
Over this old world don't you know
