Make like a mister milquetoast - and youll get shutout
Make like a mister meek - and youll get cut out
Make like a little lamb - and wham youre shorn
I tell you chum - its time to come - blow your horn
Make like a mister mumbles - and youre a zero
Make like a mister big - they dig a hero
Youve got to sound your "a" - the day youre born
I tell you chum - its time to come - blow your horn
The taller the tree is - the sweeter the peach
Ill give you the whole magilla - in a one word speech - reach
Make like the worlds your pudding - but light the brandy
Even the mildest kiss - is a dan-dan-dandy
Therell be no love in bloom - come doomsday morn
I tell you chum - its time to come - blow your horn
In civilized jungles - females adore
The lions who come on swinging - if you want to score - roar
You can be either read to - or be the reader
You can be either lead - or be the leader
Dont wait until youre told - youre old and worn
Take in some air - and get your lips puckered
Before you find - youre simply too tuckered
I tell you chum - its time to come - blow your horn
