If you're searching out for something, don't try so hard
  If you're feeling kind of nothing, don't try so hard
  When your problems seem like mountains
  You feel the need to find some answers
  You can leave it for another day... don't try so hard
    But if you fall and take a tumble, it won't be far
  If you fail you mustn't grumble, thank your lucky stars
  Just savour every mouthful, and treasure every moment
  When the storms are raging round you, stay right where you are
    Oh don't try so hard
  Oh don't take it all to heart
  It's only fools they make these rules
  Don't try so hard
    One day you'll be a sergeant major, Oh you'll be so proud
  Screaming out your bloody orders, Hey, but not too loud
  Polish all your shiny buttons, Dress as lamb instead of mutton
  But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd
    Oh what a beautiful world, this is the life for me
  Oh what a beautiful world, it's the simple life for me
    Oh don't try so hard
  Oh don't take it all to heart
  It's only fools - they make these rules
  Don't try so hard, Don't try so...
  Don't try so hard
