If to grumbling you're inclined Every time a plan goes wrong. Grumble on and ease your mind, But keep plodding right along. Grit your teeth and wear a frown. But keep walking straight ahead There's no sense In lying down Till it's time to go to bed.
If 111 luck has come your way, Keep on fighting as you sigh; While with wailing loss you stay Life's parade goes marching by. Never mind what's come and gone, Waste no time on chances fled; Forward march and carry on. Do your lying down in bed!
