give a man enough rope - original broadway cast of the will rogers follies lyrics
[will]
as a kid i’ve tied some knots
i learned to make a loop
spun it horizontal to the ground
practiced l-ssoin’ in the fenceposts
and most anything i found
why i even roped my sisters if they dared to come around
this pastime was my solitary sk!ll
and people asked ” what will become of will?”
(spoken)
and i told ’em
(sung)
give a man enough rope
give a man enough rope
and he can hang himself or not
that is the choice that he has got
he could wind up hanging down from a tree
or he could spin himself a life
that’s what happened to me
give a man enough rope (give a man enough rope)
give a man enough rope (give a man enough rope)
you hand some guys a pile of dough
one spends it fast, one saves it slow
you make a choice up to you what you do
this act ain’t much but though it
i’ve met kings and queens and i’ve got to meet you
everybody spins with different twist
so use elbow grease and just fl1ck the wrist
if you want to aim for a great big “o”
go for broke! just let it go
never let ’em see that there’s effort there
you may sweat inside, but be debonair
if you go for tears and you go for jokes
shrug it off! it’s nothing, folks
give a man enough rope (give a man enough rope)
give a man enough rope (give a man enough rope)
it’s good to set your sights up high
but don’t expect pie in the sky
