DON'T QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD

If you bet your last ten bucks - and won
If your first instict is to say "Call it done!"
How sad!
So that's your wildest dream, eh, then...
Twenty bucks instead of ten?

In life you start the same as when you're done:
If you lose, you're just where you've begun -
If you've won, don't quit while you're ahead,
Just press your blessed luck instead!

Don't try to think what move might be best
Use the heart that beats within your chest.
Never rest!
Cry out: "There's more in store for me!"

Don't worry about what you have to do!
Who cares?
And there's the chance!
One pipe dream that is mine
A romance just ripe on the vine
Don't resign!

Don't quite while you're ahead!
Don't say "I'm off to bed, farewell!"
Full well I know!
Don't let the moment go to waste
Not with the victory close enough to taste!
For God's own sake!
So raise the stake if you struck a lucky vein!
Never break through any lucky chain!
The refrain: "Don't quit while you're ahead,"
As easily done as said, you'll see
Sing out: "There's more in store for me!"
