[Intro]
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down and out)
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down and out)
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down and out)
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down and out)

[Verse 1]
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
Think of all the time you waste
And time's a precious thing to let go by

[Bridge 1]
Sure you've hit the bottom
But remember you'll be building from the ground up
Every day's another step
That takes you even closer to the sky
So give it a try

[Interlude]
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down and out)
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down and out)
[Verse 2]
You don't have to sit around
Depressed about the way that luck deceived you
Fortune sailed away, you missed the boat
And found that you'd been left behind

[Bridge 2]
Fight and fight some more
Until you know the world is ready to receive you
Lady Luck is fickle
But a lady is allowed to change her mind

[Bridge 3]
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
So be a man, you know you can't be certain
That you'll lose until you try

[Bridge 4]
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
So be a man, you know you can't be certain
That you'll lose until you try
So give it a try

[Outro]
(We as one shout, "Up, up, up and out!")
(We as one shout, "Up, up, up and out!")
(We as one shout, "Up, up, up and out!")
(We as one shout, "Up, up, up and out!")
(We as one shout, "Up, up, up and out!")
(We as one shout, "Up, up, up and out!")
(We as one shout, "Up, up, up and out!")
(We as one shout, "Up, up, up and out!")...
