Once I bet my last ten pence
And won
Twice as rich then
Friends said, "Call it done"
How sad, I said
So, that's your wildest dream, eh, then?
Twenty pence instead of ten
I'll double up my bet again
In life, we start the same as when you're done
If you lose, you're just where you'd begun
If you won, don't quit while you're ahead
Just press your blessed luck instead
Don't try to think what move might be the best
Use the heart that beats within your breast
Never rest, don't quit while you're ahead
Sing out, There's more in store for me!
I see my dream ship finally coming in
Like a steam ship anchoring in to win
Lift your chin!
Remember what I said
Don't quit while you're ahead. Let go!
I know there must be love that's yet to be
Only just three winks away from me, hopefully
Don't quit while you're ahead
Don't worry how you tread
Who cares?
And there's a chance one pipe dream that is mine
A romance quite ripe up on the vine
Don't resign
No victor never fled
Don't quit while you're ahead
To stay ta-ray, ta-rah! Boom!
Bang it, bash it, hoo-ray-ha-rah! Boom!
Clang it, clash it, oo-la-dee-dah
Don't quit while you're ahead
Don't say "I'm off to bed, farewell"
Full well I know
Don't let the moment go to waste
Not with victory close enough to taste
Heed the call with all due haste!
For God's own sake!
So raise the stake!
You struck a lucky vein
Never break through any lucky chain
The refrain "Don't quit while you're ahead"'s
As easily done as said, you'll see
Tah-ray tah-ree! Boom!
Bang it, bash it, ooh, glory be
Boom! Clang it, clash it, ooh la-dee-dee
Don't quit while you're ahead
Sing out, "There's more in store for me!"
There's much more for me
There's much more for me
