Fill hor breast with lovo's alarms,
And sho'll flop into your arms
Keep on hoping
If your wifey's mother comes,

Though your ears have aching drum.,
Keep on hoping.
There will come a joyous day
When she'll take herself away
Maybe up to heaven to stay
Keep ou hoping.
At your troubles never shy,

You'll be a winner by and by,
Keep on hoping,
For the darkest hour, thy say

And your clouds will hike away.
