Buckle Down, Winsocki

from the musical comedy, Best Foot Forward

Buckle down, Winsocki, buckle down
You can win, Winsocki, if you knuckle down
If you break their necks
If you make them wrecks
You can break the hex,
So buckle down.

Make 'em yell, Winsocki, make 'em yell
You can win, Winsocki, if you give 'em hell
If you don't give in
Take it on the chin,
You are bound to win
If you will only buckle down.

If you fight you'll chuckle at defeat.
If you fight your luck'll not retreat.
Knuckle down, Winsocki, knuckle down.
You can win, Winsocki, if you buckle down.
If you mow them down,
If you go to town,
You can wear the crown,
If you will only buckle down.
