Pluggin' away, pluggin' away
People who keep pluggin' away
They're the ones who get things done
'Cause they keep pluggin' away,
They keep pluggin' away!
Basketball's my fav'rite sport, but when
People told me, "You're too short!"
I refused to leave the court,
I kept pluggin' away!
(Watch me dribble now!)
Chorus
Got new glasses for my eyes
Next day in school, some of the guys
Were teasin' me but, "Hey! Surprise!"
I kept pluggin' away.
(I could "see" they had some problems!)
Chorus
Remember tortoise and the hare?
That rabbit really did not care,
The tortoise won it fair and square,
'Cause he kept pluggin' away!
(Puttin' one foot in front of the other!)
Chorus/ Instrumental Chorus
Now sometimes life is kinda tough, but our
Heads are made of brains, not fluff
So find a way to "do your stuff!"
An' you keep pluggin' away!
If you've got things you want to do
Don't let folks discourage you
Just hold your nose, say "Pooh to you!"
Then you keep pluggin' away!
Chorus/Chorus
Our songs for children about peace and justice, resolving conflicts, and celebrating our global family are more important than ever in these troubled times. These Peace Resources are intended to help us all move forward with hope and tools for song and action as we work together to build a healthier, more peaceful world.
