Representative lyrics

English (Original Language)

Don’t envy the boy with the cheerful smile; just get one. Don’t envy the boy with sportsmanship; just get some. We have guidelines to follow As we blaze the trail of life. Don’t envy the boy with special skills; just get some. Don’t envy the boy with standards high; just be one. Working ev’ry day with our light to guide the way, We won’t envy the boy with the cheerful smile, Won’t envy the boy with the standards high, Won’t envy the boy with the happy life; we’ll live one.
