On the Right Track Lyrics by Ben Vereen

Pippin (1972 Original Broadway Cast Recording)

[LEADING PLAYER]
You look frenzied, you look frazzled
Peaked as any alp
Flushed and rushed and razzle-dazzled
Dry your lips, damp your scalp
Now I can see you're in a rut in
Disarray
And I'm not one to butt in
But in fact I must say
If you'd take it easy, trust awhile
Don't look blue, don't look back
You'll pull through in just awhile
'Cause you're on the right track
[PIPPIN]
On the right track
On the right track
On the right track
On the right track
[LEADING PLAYER]
Uh huh Uh huh
Take it easy, sonny
Take it easy, sonny
Take it easy
[LEADING PLAYER]
Why look flurried
[PIPPIN]
Flustered
[LEADING PLAYER]
Keep those
[PIPPIN]
Hopes aloft
[LEADING PLAYER]
Keep cool as custard
[PIPPIN]
Trying hard
[LEADING PLAYER]
Stepping soft
[BOTH]
There's no trick to staying sensible
Despite each cul-de-sac
'Cause each step's indispensable
When you're on the right track
[PIPPIN]
On the right track
On the right track
On the right track
On the right track
[LEADING PLAYER]
Uh huh Uh huh
Take it easy, sonny
Take it easy, sonny
Take it easy
[LEADING PLAYER]
Many when things get dank will feel their grip go
We stay tranquil, spirits high, pulses low
[PIPPIN]
But! What I've left behind looks trifling
What's ahead looks black
Am I doomed to spend my life a-lingering on
[LEADING PLAYER]
Lingering on
[PIPPIN]
Just lingering on
[BOTH]
Malingering on the right
[PIPPIN]
Oh, I'll never find it.... never.... never....never....
Never!
[LEADING PLAYER]
Easy baby...
You're on the right track!
