[Verse]
- So far I've not had my name
- written on the nation's roll of fame:
- Nobody I see
- Makes a fuss of me.
- In a line crowds do not stand,
- waiting for a chance to shake my hand:
- Folks, when I appear,
- don't stand up and cheer,
- GIRLS. But of chances for success
- The lands from North to south full
- HE. Thank you for these cheering words yes,
- girls, you've said a mouthfull.
[Chorus]
- Just you watch my step:
- I've got push and pep:
- I'll win fortune and renown.
- GIRLS. You'll will renown
- HE. Though I've not started yet,
- Kindly don't forget
- You can't keep a good man down.
[Verse]
- All the wealthy men I know,
- Rockefeller, Henry Ford and Co.
- Once upon a time
- Didn't have a dime.
- Morgan always touched the bunch,
- when it was his turn to pay the lunch
- With Carnegie at
- their pet automat.
- GIRLS. Fortune's sure to smile, although
- at first she may be fickle
- HE. That's the stuff, why Heinz began his
- life without a pickle.
[Chorus]
- Just you watch my step:
- I've got push and pep:
- I'll win fortune and renown.
- GIRLS. You'll win renown
- HE. I'll land the sort of job
- They handed Charley Schwab;
- You can't keep a good man down.
