You Mustn't Be Discouraged
| Lyrics: |
When you think you've hit the bottom
And you're feeling mighty low,
You mustn't feel discouraged --
There's always one step further down you can go.
When you're lying in the gutter,
Feeling just a bit unsure,
Just think about tomorrow --
You may be lying face-first down in the sewer.
Don't be afraid of a little raindrop,
That don't mean nothin', bud.
Just remember, one little raindrop
Started the Jonestown Flood
(In Pennsylvania).
When you're sleeping on a park bench
Eating grass 'cause you've no dough,
Your luck will change manana --
You may be six feet under, helping it grow.
So just remember when you're lower than low,
There's always one step further down you can go.
Don't be afraid of a little rumble,
What's that, for goodness sake?
Just remember, one little rumble
Started the 'Frisco Quake.
(In Pennsylvania?)
When you're sleeping on a park bench
Eating grass 'cause you've no dough,
Your luck will change manana --
You may be six feet under, helping it grow.
So just remember when you're lower than low,
There's always one step further down you can go.

Kurt and Katarina Witt skated a cute duet to this song at Gotta Skate
IV. The program featured Katarina dressed up as an old-fashioned maid
who had been out several times earlier in the show, cleaning up after
the other skaters (sweeping up the shavings from Kurt's stop, mopping
up his spin), and Kurt as her initially disapproving employer who
softens towards her and skates with her. The two of them worked
together over the summer on this number, with the intention of
showcasing Katarina's comedic side.
