THAT'S PEP

Vigor, vitality, vim and punch --
That's pep!
The courage to act on a sudden hunch,
That's pep!
The nerve to tackle the hardest thing,
With feet that climb, and hands that cling,
And a heart that never forgets to sing --
That's pep!

Sand and grit in a concrete base --
That's pep!
Friendly smile on an honest face --
That's pep!
The spirit that helps when another's down,
That knows how to scatter the blackest frown,
That loves its neighbor and loves its town,
That's pep!

To say "I will" -- for you know you can --
That's pep!
To look for the best in every man --
That's pep!
To meet each thundering knockout blow,
To back with a laugh, because you know,
You'll get the best of the whole darned show--
That's pep!
