Are You A Man Or A Mouse? lyrics

When the going's getting rough,

An old man's trouble getting tough.

Stand right up and call his bluff.

"Are you a man or a mouse?"

Keep a good stiff up a lip,

And never, never lose your grip.

Don't give up a good old ship.

Are you a man or a mouse?

(Instrumental Break)

Be like that Pagliacci lad,

And learn to smile when things are bad.

Give your pants another hitch,

And stay right in there and pitch.

(Whistling Medley)

Are you a man or a mouse?

Don't give up and say you're true,

'Cause that's not like the likes of you.

Kick your troubles black and blue.

Are you a man or a mouse?

(Speaking) "That's it! Don't frown! Just clown, and laugh at stormy weather! Look up, not down! And pull yourself together, brother!"

Wear a million-dollar grin,

Ya gotta lose as well as win.

Learn to take it on the chin.

Are you a man or a mouse?
