If you know how to clean up well
that dust off of your clothes
those lines off of your forehead
and put on a pretty smile,
Then you have the skill most needed.

Life puts you down now n then
and shakes your very core
but you will have to move on
with or without the lesson it offers
and keep playing it like a game.

No one will be able to tell
what horrors make you tremble
when they see your glitz n charm
All they'll see is a beautiful lass
working diligently at her tasks
