If you can'be a pine on the top of the hill,

    Be a scrub in the valley - but be

The best little scrub by the side of the rill;

   Be a bush, if you can't be a tree.

If you can't be a bush, be a bit of the grass,

   And some highway happier make;

If you can't be a muskie, then just be a bass-

   But the liveliest bass in the lake!

We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,

   There's something for all of us…
