The Reckoning

There are those who must think, 
While others believe,
And a few who politely suppose. 
You’ll hear buts and ya sees,
Even excuse me, please, 
And folks who shout everyone knows.

But I reckon. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
I just reckon. 
Woo, woo, woo.
I don’t figure. 
I don’t guess. 
I don’t bet.
At least not yet.

Although, 
it’s conceivable, 
If guilty of a momentary lapse,
Or else a monumental 
Intellectual collapse,
I might, on rare occasions, 
Be reduced to a perhaps,
But I reckon not, Jack.

‘cause I reckon. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
I just reckon. 
Woo, woo, woo.
I don’t conjecture. 
I don’t surmise. 
I don’t presume.
I'm out of room.
Too-da-loo.
