Success is a played-out game, success, success!
because what have you got when you’ve got it?
The young aren’t vitally interested in it any more.
Only third-rate swabs are pushing to get on, nowadays.
Getting the better of other people! Who cares? —
Getting the better of them! - Which better, what better, anyhow?
Our poor old daddies got on,
and then could never get off again.
If only we could make life a bit more just
so that we could all get along gaily
instead of getting on and not being able to get off again.
