Go first in the world, go forth with your fears
Re member a price must be paid _ _ _
B _ e always too soon, be never too fast
At the time when all bets must be laid _ _ _
B _ e- ware of the darkness, be kind to your children
Re member the woman who waits _ _ _
A _ nd the house you live in will never fall down
If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate
| _ _ | _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |
When you're caught by the gale and you're full under sail
Be ware of the dangers be low _ _ _ _
And the song that you sing should not be too sad
And be sure not to sing it too slow _ _ _ _
Be calm in the face of all common dis graces
And know what they're doing it for _ _ _ _
A _ nd the house you live in will never fall down
If you pity the stranger who stands at your door
| _ _ | _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |
| _ _ | _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |
When you're out on the road and feeling quite lost
Con sider the burden of fame _ _ _
A _ nd he who is wise will not criti cize
When other men fail at the game _ _ _
Be ware of strange faces and dark dingy places
Be careful while bending the law _ _ _
A _ nd the house you live in will never fall down
If you pity the stranger who stands at your door
| _ _ | _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |
| _ _ | _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |
When you're down in the dumps and not ready to deal
De cide what it is that you need _ _ _
I _ s it money or love, is it learning to live
Or is it the mouth you must feed _ _ _
Be known as a man who will always be candid
On questions that do not re late _ _ _
A _ nd the house you live in will never fall down
If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate _ _ _ _
A _ nd the house you live in will never fall down
If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate _ _ _ _
