Chip Chip Chip Away Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You want to come on the ranch,
And do a bit of hi-dee-hey.
You come expecting everyone to do,
What it is you say, yo!

You want to feel you're the boss,
At any cost without delay.
But you aint giving any bucks...
To anyone with an up in pay!

You need to chip chip chip away some of that cement you're in.
You need to chip chip chip away some of that cement you're in, yo!
You need to chip chip chip away some of that cement you're in.
You need to chip chip chip away some of that cement you're in!

And do a bit of hi-dee-hey.
You come expecting everyone to do,
What it is you say, yo!

At any cost without delay.
But you aint giving any bucks...
To anyone with an up in pay!
