1T Can't Be Done"

Somebody has said that 1T couldn't be done'-
But he with chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn't but he would be one
Who wouldn't say 80 till he tried.
So he buckled right in, with bit of grin
On his face-and if he worried. he hid it;
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done''-and he did it.
Somebody scoffed oh. you'll never do that;
At least has done it;''
but he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With lift of his chin and bit of grin,
Without any doubt "quiddit"
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done"-and he did it.
There thousands to tell you it cannot be
done"
There thousands to prophesy failure,
There thousands to point out, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assa you.
But just you buckle in, with bit of grin.
Then take off your coat and go to it
just start in to sing. as you tackle the thing
That couldn't be done-and you'll do it,
Who neither trouble nor labor shirks,
Who uses his head, his hands, his eyes,
The who wins is the who tries.
