Lyrics
Alarm clock rings, out of bed you spring
You can do just about anything
A game of catch, a ping pong match
Pick out a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch
An afternoon nap with the cat on your lap
Bake up a batch of gingersnaps
So set your sail, blaze your own trail
If you put your mind to it you will always prevail
Life is a riddle, life is a rhyme
Life takes a nickel but it might give you back a dime
If you're feeling down and you need a lift
Always remember that life is a gift
A morning stroll with your fishing pole
Go for a dip in the swimming hole
An evening walk without shoes or socks
Dangling your feet down off the dock
Spend the night at a camping site
Telling ghost stories in the firelight
A rooster cries, you rub your sleepy eyes
And wake up just in time to see the sunrise
Life is a riddle, life is a rhyme
Life takes a nickel but it might give you back a dime
If you're feeling down and you need a lift
Always remember that life is a gift
A friendly face, a warm embrace
Finding the perfect hiding place
A summer breeze blowing through the trees
The smell of salt that comes from the sea
A cozy bed, a book you read
Pattin' a puppy dog upon its head
A sunny day, a funny thing you say
Knowing that your loved ones aren't far away Ohh
Life is a riddle, life is a rhyme
Life takes a nickel but it might give you back a dime
If you're feeling down and you need a lift
Always remember that life is a gift
Never forget that life is a gift
