“ BE A BOOSTER”
Do you know there’s lots of people...
Sittin’ around in every town,
Growlin’ like a broody chicken,
-Knockin’ every good thing down?
Don’t you be that kind o’cattle
’Cause there ain’t no use on earth
You can just be a booster rooster—
Crow and boost for all your worth
If your town needs boostin' boost ’er
Don’t hold back and wait to see
If some other feller’s willin'----
Sail right in, this country’s free;
No one’s got a mortgage on it
It is yours as much as his
If your town is shy on boosters
You get in the boostin’ biz
If things don’t just seem to suit you -
And the world seems kipder wrong
W h afsth e matter with a boostin’
Just to help the thing along?
Cause if things should stop again
We’d be in a sorry plight
You just keep that horn ablowin’.
Boost ’er up with all your might
If you see some either feller trying’
