If you have a nut to crack, crack it
If you have boot to black, black it.
If you just sit back and grin,
When your chance is looking thin,
You will never, never win.
Swing your whip out in the win
and crack it,
II you just lie back and drift,
When someone's made you unfit"
You are going to get bift"
Just recall, otis not gift'-and
pay IT,
If you have a drum to be beat, beat
it,
If you have bad luck to meet, meet it.
Ii you just "set up a stew
When the world is looking blue,
z OF no good will ever do.
Find the drum that's left for you
and beat it.
