Mommy: If you find yourself in trouble And you don’t know what to do Don’t pull your hair Out in despair Before my song is through
See I got a little recipe To take away your woes And all of the ingredients Are right behind your nose
You just need two cups of courage And a little pinch of pluck A quarter pound of cleverness A dash of plain old luck Then you mix them up all together Into one tremendous stew It’s a recipe for adventure Cooking up inside of you
So put on your thinking helmet Like adventurers must do I have no doubt You’ll figure out A great idea or two Cause the key to finding what you want Is knowing where to look And you’ve got all the ingredients So now it’s time to cook
