Try, Really Try

from Fried Okra by Adam Thorton

lyrics

"You look very young for 56 years of age," says your mother.
The mirror slightly disagrees but you don't listen
'cause no one disagrees with your mother
Even though you'd like to try
You even have and it comes out quiet as a whisper

But you gotta be as loud as all the city sounds that knock you out!
(Night [night] nigh [night] nighty-night)
(Night [goodnight] night [night] nighty-night)

You've gotta try, really try!
Do, really do!
Believe, really believe!
On Thursday, wear a red shoe!

You've gotta try, really try!
(Try [try] try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try)
Do, really do!
(Try, try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try)
Believe, really believe!
(Try, try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try)
On Thursday, wear a red shoe!
(Try, try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try)

I don't suppose I'll get out'a here until she dies or I die
"Who is she, the cat" says your mother.
"Who is she, the cat?"

You've gotta try, really try!
Do, really do!
Believe, really believe!
On Thursday, wear a red shoe!

You've gotta try, really try!
(Try [try] try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try)
Do, really do!
(Try, try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try)
Believe, really believe!
(Try, try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try)
On Thursday, wear a red shoe!
(Try, try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try)

Try, try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try
Try, try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try
Try, try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try
Try, try, trity-try - try, try, trity-try
