| For the want of a marker
|
| the doctors lost their place
|
| For the want of a cut-line
|
| they couldn’t lift his face
|
| For the want of a facelift
|
| his ratings dropped
|
| Then the sitcom folded
|
| then the network flopped
|
| after the climb
|
| after time turns designs to despair
|
| it is good
|
| nothing’s fair
|
| it’s all who you know
|
| For the want of a cough drop
|
| the musher’s throat went hoarse
|
| For the want of direction
|
| the huskies went off course
|
| Then the sled got snowbound
|
| it took some time to free `em
|
| Now they’re on display
|
| inside the British Museum
|
| after the climb
|
| after time turns designs to despair
|
| it is good
|
| nothing’s fair
|
| it’s all who you know
|
| and after the fall
|
| after all of our strivings are dust
|
| even so
|
| good for us
|
| it’s all who you know
|
| For the want of a compass
|
| we’d be shuffling charts
|
| For the want of good radar
|
| we’d be glacier parts
|
| For the want of a lighthouse
|
| can’t you see
|
| we’d be lost at sea
|
| lost at sea
