'Hurry up 'A
No lingering by old doors of doubtB
No loitering by the wayC
No waiting a To morrow carD
When you can board To dayC
Success is somewhere down the trackE
Before the chance is goneF
Accelerate your laggard paceG
Swing on I say swing onH
Hurry upI
-
'Step lively '-
Belated souls are following fastJ
They shout and signal 'Wait '-
Conductor Time brooks no delayC
He rings the bell of FateK
But you can give the man behindL
With one hand on the barD
A final chance to brook defeatM
And board the moving carD
Step livelyN
-
'Move up '-
Make way for others as you sitO
Or stand This crowded earthP
Has room for every journeying soulQ
En route to higher birthP
Ay room and comfort if no oneR
Took double share or spaceG
Nor let his greed and selfishnessS
Absorb another's placeG
Move upI
-
'Hold fast '-
The jolting switch of obstaclesT
With jarring rails is nearU
Stand firm of foot be strong of gripV
Brace well and have no fearU
The Maker of the Car of LifeW
Foresaw that curve DespairX
And hung the straps of faith and hopeY
So you might grasp them thereX
Hold fastJ
