IT ISN’T YOUR TOWN—IT’S YOU.
If you want to live in the kind of a town That’s the kind of a town you like, You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike.
You’ll And elsewhere what you left behind, For there’s nothing that’s really new,
It’s a knock at yourself when you knock your town; It isn’t your town —it’s you.
Real towns are not made by s men afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead; When everyone works and no one shirks You can raise a town from the dead.
And if while you make your personal stake Your neighbour can make one too, Your town will be what you waul to see;• It isn’t your town —it’s you.
