get with it, get dressed

fight to be the best

here’s your flight cap

and here are you shiny boots

comb your hair, get moving

your laziness ain’t soothing to the rest of us

now stand up straight and tall

 

and smile, smile, smile

remember to smile

 

make the grade, get tough

everybody’s had enough

of idealists and utopians and other fools

get a grip, get serious

everybody’s furious

your brain’s been sighted

out near saturn’s rings

 

boy in the moon

they shot you off too soon

 

your aptitude is high

your attitude is poor

discrepancies are cause for concern

sure you’ll take your sips

but soon you’ll be eclipsed

by somebody who took the time to learn

whatever it was

 

but fly, fly, fly

remember to fly

 

before you knew enough to shoot them down

and now is your big chance

to waste a round
