[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
'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
[Verse 3]
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?

[Chorus]
'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)
And 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?

[Outro]
(If it will, it will)
(If it won't, it won't)
(If it does, it does)
(If it don't, it don't)
