Pomes in a Pail: Music

When your pickle’s in a pinch
When you’re battling every inch
When it’s coming to the clinch
And when it’s certain it’s a cinch
A sinch’uation you can’t win —
Don’t give in!

When your undie’s in a bundle
And your courage takes a tumble
When your tummy gives a grumble
’Cause there’s nothing left but humble
Humble pie to eat or die —
That’s when you try!

When you’d rather fight than switch
But you’re down and in the ditch
So low, you make the poor look rich
And Kid, when it’s too hot in the kitch
In the kitchen from the heat —
Don’t be beat!

When you’re weary as a lizard
’Cause a buzzard’s got your gizzard
And no magic wand or wizard
Could disappear the blizzard
Of woe that comes a’blowing —
Keep on going!

When your fiddle can’t be fit
When your brow’s too beat to knit
When you’ve caboodled your last kit
And when it’s grim as it can git —
Hey, maybe it’s time to quit.
(Who said that?)
