Up Chuck

© 2009 Mark Cote

(chorus) lighten up chuck, up chuck
                you don't need to be so uptight, up chuck
                wake up chuck, up chuck
                you don't need to be so pent up chuck, up chuck

1. a stiff upper lip and stern approach
    is not as effective as a team coach
    lead ants with sugar, not with salt
    or it'll tumble down and it's all your fault
(chorus)

2. get the job done, but have fun
    is not just, some silly pun
    boost morale and they'll work with you
    push too hard and they work against you
(chorus)

3. It takes a big man to look beyond
    a single ripple in a pond
    ripples flow out and reach far and wide
    whether good or bad, it'll reach the sides
(chorus)
