If You Pull a Long Face
IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE
If you pull a long face
Just because you had a bad day
That’s alright you won’t lose face
Everyone’s beset some hapless day
If you pull a long face
Day by day come what may
Better know it’s really out-of-place
To pull a long face in every way
Yet if you pull a long face
All your livelong dark day
You had better make an about-face
Or you’d end up in a fray
If you pull a long face
‘Cause none with you will play
Then you have lost your birth-place
You’ll not save face even if you pray
So if you pull a long face
No matter what or who comes your way
Give a damn who looks you in the face
Then you’re made of sterner stuff, not clay
