KEEP SCRAPPING.

When you're sick as the deuce and
YOU think. What's tho use"
And tired out, discouraged. afraid:
And YOU keep asking why they don't
let you die,
And forget the mistakes you have
made.
When you're chucked full OF pain
and tired OF tho game.
And you want to get rid OF It all,
That's the time to begin to stick out
your chin.
And fight with your back to tine
When you've done all you can TO
fight like man,
But YOU can't keep your head up
much more.
And the end of the bout leaves YOU
down and out
Bleeding and raellnE and sore
When you've prayed all along for
the sound OF the gong
To ring for the fight to stop.
Just keep on your feet and smile at
defeat,
That's the way to come out on
top.
You're tired OF hard knocks and
you're right on tho rocks
