SMILE AND HUSTLE
When your plans go all awry.
Smile and hustle.
Not a bit of use to cry.
Smile and hustle.
Waste of time to fret and scold:
Brace and get another hold:
Meet the future brave and bold-
Smile and hustle
Some big scheme wound up in wreck?
Smile and hustle.
Bad luck smite you in the neck?
Smile and hustle.
Be a man among big men,
Grab a hold and try again,
Spit upon your hands, and then
Smile and hustle.
When a brave man hits the bumps-
Smile and hustle
Then is when he up and humps.
Smile and hustle.
Waste of time to weep and wail
Just forget that small word "fail."
Don't moon 'round till you go stale
Smile and hustle
Everybody has bad luck.
Smile and hustle.
That's the time to show your pluck.
Smile and hustle.
Say, "Hard luck, good-by to you,"
Start off on a tack that's new,
Keep straight on with purpose true,
Smile and hustle.
