Someone said that it couldn\u2019t be done
\nBut he with a chuck\u00adle replied
\nThat \u201cmay\u00adbe it couldn\u2019t,\u201d but he would be one
\nWho wouldn\u2019t say so till he\u2019d tried.<\/p>\n
Some\u00adbo\u00addy scof\u00adfed: \u201cOh, you\u2019ll never do that;
\nAt least no one ever has done it;\u201d
\nBut he took off his coat and he took off his hat
\nAnd the first thing we knew he\u2019d begun it.<\/p>\n
The\u00adre are thou\u00adsands to tell you it can\u00adnot be done,
\nThe\u00adre are thou\u00adsands to pro\u00adphe\u00adsy failure,
\nThe\u00adre are thou\u00adsands to point out to you one by one,
\nThe dan\u00adgers that wait to assail you.<\/p>\n
But just buck\u00adle in with a bit of a grin,
\nJust take off your coat and go to it;
\nJust start in to sing as you tack\u00adle the thing
\nThat \u201ccan\u00adnot be done,\u201d and you\u2019ll do it.<\/p>\n
