Keep on keeping on by Anonymous

Keep on keeping on by Anonymous

If the day looks kinder gloomy

And your chances kinder slim,

If the situation's puzzlin'

And the prospect's awful grim,

If perplexities keep pressin'

Till hope is nearly gone,

Just bristle up and grit your teeth

And keep on keepin' on.

Frettin' never wins a fight

And fumin' never pays;

There ain't no use in broodin'

In these pessimistic ways;

Smile just kinder cheerfully

Though hope is nearly gone,

And bristle up and grit your teeth

And keep on keepin' on.

There ain't no use in growlin'

And grumblin' all the time,

When music's ringin' everywhere

And everything's a rhyme.

Just keep on smilin' cheerfully

If hope is nearly gone,

And bristle up and grit your teeth

And keep on keepin' on.
