Goose Never Be a Peacock Lyrics by Carol Brice

Saratoga (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1959

[KAKOU, spoken]
Don't you start frettin' about bein' a little man
You listen to ol' Kakou
[KAKOU]
Takes a whole heap o' learnin'
For a person to know
Dis ol' world keep a-turnin'
But it turn mighty slow
And it don't matter rightly
How you scheme and you plan
Certain things gonna stay
The way they began
For instance, goose never be a peacock
Don't I know
Crow try to be a jaybird
He still crow
Bust his cackle in two
Still can't sing
Got no feathers o' blue on his wings
A hawk try to be a eagle
Down he fall
So don't walk around all biggity-like
Or squinchify up too small
'Cos maybe you is the very best you of all
Be proud of who you is
And what you do
No matter where you is
Act that way too
And evеryone you'll see be proud of you
Remеmber, hawk try to be a eagle
Down he fall
There ain't never been too many fine birds
A-sittin' up on the wall
And maybe you is the prettiest of them all
