No. 3 - Song - Peter Stuyvesant - "Just keep cool."
| Stuyvesant: | Take advice from Peter Stuyvesant,
the ruler of the Dutch; There may be wiser men than I, but not so very much. If troubles thick assail you, you can dodge 'em if you try. Just light your pipe and take a smoke and let the world go by. Never let yourself be worried, or hurried, or flurried. If you do, you'll soon be buried. Care will only kill a fool. If the trials of life beset you, or fret you, I'll bet you That the hoo-doo never get you If you just keep cool. |
| Nearly all the ills that worry us
are shadows of a day. Just turn your smile upon them, and they'll quickly fade away. Any man who looks for trouble always finds it in a trice. But ice is cheap. Refrigerate, remember Pete's advice. Never let yourself be worried, or hurried, or flurried. If you do, you'll soon be buried. Care will only kill a fool. If the trials of life beset you, or fret you, I'll bet you That the hoo-doo never get you If you just keep cool. |
