Martin Freeman - Prospects

Sure, now I’m an ordinary elf…
Doing ordinary things…
That other ordinary elves refuse to do…
Like scooping up the reindeer-
You know what I do!

But I…
One day I’ll fly up on his sleigh
Going up, up, and away
And all the other elves will say
Hey, look!
There he goes again!
What a wonderful guy
How did he get to be the elf he is today?

That’s when the future me
Will turn to them and say…

Even a flea has prospects
Even a skunk has flare
Even a reindeer with a sleigh in tow
Can beat a crow in the air, so

And even that *crow* has prospects
Shouldn’t an elf like me…?
Never give up till you’re up
Where you want to be…

So if you keep on trying
Someone soon will see…
You’re not really a mouse
You’re a lion! *rawr!*
You can rely on me!

Even a *snake* has prospects
Even a swan can *bite*!
Even a tiny spider spins a web
That will hold you good and *tight*!

So, if everyone *else* has prospects
Wouldn’t you *all* agree…

Whether you’re two legs or four legs
Eight legs or more legs
Never give up ‘til you’re up!
Never give up when you’re down…

Never give up ‘till you’re up
Where you want to be…
