Rhyme Scheme: AABA CCDC EEFE GGHG IIGI HHGH GGJG GGKG| One said Thy life is thine to make or mar | A |
| To flicker feebly or to soar a star | A |
| It lies with thee the choice is thine is thine | B |
| To hit the ties or drive thy auto car | A |
| - | |
| I answered Her The choice is mine ah no | C |
| We all were made or marred long long ago | C |
| The parts are written hear the super wail | D |
| Who is stage managing this cosmic show | C |
| - | |
| Blind fools of fate and slaves of circumstance | E |
| Life is a fiddler and we all must dance | E |
| From gloom where mocks that will o' wisp Free will | F |
| I heard a voice cry Say give us a chance | E |
| - | |
| Chance Oh there is no chance The scene is set | G |
| Up with the curtain Man the marionette | G |
| Resumes his part The gods will work the wires | H |
| They've got it all down fine you bet you bet | G |
| - | |
| It's all decreed the mighty earthquake crash | I |
| The countless constellations' wheel and flash | I |
| The rise and fall of empires war's red tide | G |
| The composition of your dinner hash | I |
| - | |
| There's no haphazard in this world of ours | H |
| Cause and effect are grim relentless powers | H |
| They rule the world A king was shot last night | G |
| Last night I held the joker and both bowers | H |
| - | |
| From out the mesh of fate our heads we thrust | G |
| We can't do what we would but what we must | G |
| Heredity has got us in a cinch | J |
| Consoling thought when you've been on a bust | G |
| - | |
| Hark to the song where spheral voices blend | G |
| There's no beginning never will be end | G |
| It makes us nutty hang the astral chimes | K |
| The tables spread come let us dine my friend | G |
