Keep It Tickin' Over
Action Pact!
If you were told when you were small
You'd grow up to be nothing at all
It's up to you to prove them wrong
And how good it feels to prove them wrong?
Quit sitting, thinking there's no more
That's when you swallow their soft soap
So use your head and don't forget
When you're aware you're really a threat
You've a lovely mind don't falter
Keep it tickin' over, keep it tickin' over
You've a strong will don't alter
Keep it tickin' over, keep it tickin' over
Don't kid yourself you're low on brains
Give us all you've got, don't be ashamed
No reason why you can't walk tall
Pride don't always come before a fall
Look at those books on the shelf
You know they can't harm your mental health
There's nothing as sharp as a young mind
And spirit beats the sloth every time
If I can try then you can too
Together there's nothing we can't do
Out of your shell the time is now
There's lots to do so show them now
Keep it tickin' over always
Even when you get those bad old days
Someday you'll make it to your goal
If you recognise your heart and soul
