Occupations

Should the player play the fiddle
the carver of wood whittle
And the dancer piroutte
While the bakers bake and sweat

While the architect draws his lines
And the drummer drums in time
The farmers make things grow
While teachers teaches us so

Let preachers preach the word
And the shepherds lead their herds
Let the leaders lead the way
And judges contemplate

Let dealers deal the cards
And statisticions give the odds
And inventors dream their dreams
While great actors play their scenes

When detectives test their wit
And comedians do their bit
The tailors make clothes fit
While nurses tend the sick

While prayers pray to God
And angels praise and nod
The doubters still are doubting
And the unsuccessful quits
