Everybody needs to have a purpose
If you can't climb mountains, you can be the Sherpas.
If you can't be the singer, you can be her fans
And listen to the songs and clap your hands.
You have to be worth your salt
Bloom where you're planted, come when you're called
And if you're not a genius or a policy wonk
You nevertheless can (HONK).
If you're not the King of the Jungle (TARZAN YELL).
Don't get depressed, don't cry uncle,
Don't weep for what was and how you useta,
Crow like a (ROOSTER).
If you're lifting (STRAIN) a heavy weight,
Don't jump on that westbound ( TRAIN WHISTLE)
If its empty, your personal cup,
Stop. (BEEPS) Back up.
Banish sorrow. Do what you like---
Sing. (NOTE) Get on your (BIKE).
If you're losing in life's (RACE CAR PASSES)
Take your (SAX) out of its case.
Or play some (CHEEK TAPPING) on your face.
Squirt some (SPRAY) down your pants,
Stand on the corner and do your (TAP DANCE).
Head for the pool and do a (DIVE OFF BOARD).
Be happy that you're still (DEEP EXULTANT BREATH).
Put a record on the (PHONOGRAPH)
And just stand there and (LAUGH).
Jump up and down (POGO) for a minute and a half
And (LAUGH)
