Alfred Drake - The Scrimmage of Life

{PEACHUM}
In the scrimmage of life
You are certain to win
With a twist of the knife
And a kick of the shin

When you climb on a back
How much taller you are
Stand on somebody's forehead
And reach for a star

Noisily yell
So they can't hear the bell
To hell with the bell
'Cause you're out for the bill

(spoken)
Bearing Washington's image
Or Jefferson's image
Or any old image

(sung)
Just grab it and keep it
And you'll win the scrimmage

In the scrimmage of life
You are certain to win
With a twist of the knife
And a kick of thе shin
When you climb on a back
How much taller you are
Stand on somеbody's forehead
And reach for a star

Noisily yell
So they can't hear the bell
To hell with the bell
'Cause you're out for the bill

(spoken)
Bearing Washington's image
Or Jefferson's image
Or any old image

(sung)
Just grab it and keep it
And you'll win the scrimmage
The big sportin' scrimmage
Yip! Yip! What a scrimmage
The wonderful scrimmage of life
