HOW ABOUT YOU?

You may know the pinch of famine.
You may know the clutch of debt,
There may be but little lamb in
Any fricassee you get.
All the dubs may try to flop you
Any trick to lay you low,
But they cannot really stop you,
If you've got the goods to show.
They may knock you down and tram.
pie
On the wares you have to sell,
They may hand you out a sample
OF a little bit of h!
They may turn on you and thunder
Back, you lobster, to the woods"
But they cannot keep you under
If you've really got the goods.
True, it's hard for you to suffer
What you know you don't deserve,
But it rather makes you tougher
And it stiffens up your nerve.
Let 'em slam, and damn, and flout
you,
Bear it all as best you can.
But the world can't do without you
If you've got the goods Old Man.
