KEEP COOL (A SONG)
MARCUS GARVEY
Suns have set and suns will rise
Upon many gloomy lives;
Those
who sit around and say:
"Nothing good comes down our
way."
Some say: "What's the use to try,
Life is
awful hard and dry."
If they'd bring such news to you,
This
is what you ought to do.
Chorus
Let no trouble worry you;
Keep cool, keep
cool!
Don't get hot like some folk do,
Keep cool, keep
cool!
What's the use of prancing high
While the world goes
smiling by.
You can win if you would try,
Keep cool, keep
cool.
Throw your troubles far away,
Smile a little every day,
And
the sun will start to shine,
Making life so true and fine.
Do
not let a little care
Fill your life with grief and fear:
Just
be calm, be brave and true,
Keep your head and you'll get
through.
Chorus
Let no trouble worry you;
Keep cool, keep
cool!
just be brave and ever true;
Keep cool, keep cool!
If
they'd put you in a flame,
Though you should not bear the
blame,
Do not start to raising cane,
Keep cool, keep cool.
