Somebody said that it couldn’t be done, But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. 5 So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn’t be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that; 10 At least no one ever has done it”; But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, And the first thing we knew he’d begun it. With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn’t be done, and he did it.
