See What It Gets You
[FAY]
Take one step
And see what it gets you
See what it gets you
See what it gets you
One step up and see how it gets you
Down

Give yourself
If somebody lets you
See what it gets you
See what it gets you
Give yourself and somebody lets you
Down

Here's how to crawl
Now run, lady
Here’s how to walk
Now fly
Here's how to feel—have fun, lady
And a fond goodbye

Reach out your hand
And see what it gets you
See what it gets you
See what it gets you
Trouble is, whatever it gets, you
Find
That once you see
You can't stay blind
What do I do now
Now that my eyes are wide?
Well, when thе world goes mad
Then they’vе got to be shown
And when the hero quits
Then you're left on your own
When you want things done
You have to do them yourself alone
And if I'm not ready, and light-headed
I can't stand here dumb
So ready or not, here, I hope, I come!

Anyone can whistle, that's what they say—easy
Anyone can whistle any old day—easy
It's all so simple: relax, let go, let fly
So someone tell me, why can't I?
Whistle at a dragon, down it'll fall—easy
Whistle at a hero, trumpets and all—easy
Just once I’ll do it
Just once before I die

Lead me to the battle
What does it take?
Over the top!
Joan at the stake!
Anyone can whistle—
Well, no one can say
I didn’t try!
