Beyond the isle of What'stheuse
Where Slipshod point is now,
There used to be, when was young
The land of Anyhow
Don't Care was king Of all this realm
cruel king was he.
For those who served him with good heart
He treated shamefuily!
When boys and girls their tasks would sIis<h
And cloud poor mothers brow,
He said, Don't care! It's good enough!
Just do 1t Anyhow
But when in after life they longed
To make proud fortune bow,
He let them find that fate neer smiles
On work done Anyhow.
For he who would the harvest reap
Must learn to use the plow,
And pitch his tents long way from
The land of Anyhow!
