Put ginger in your business. A spoonful now and then Will wake it from its slumbers And liven it again. Will set the works to buzzing As bees about a hive And to yourself and others Will prove you are alive. The old and sleepy notions Were once and upon a sufficient, time, Quite ample But now they are a crime Or what as worse is listed, As any one will claim Who knows that modern methods Are losers in the game. It isn't just sufficient To have the goods to show, All tagged and marked and labeled And sitting in a row.

To get them on the market And to spread wide their joys And then bring in the profits. You have to make a noise. The man who makes the money And also makes his mark Is not the sleepy mortal Who stumbles in the dark. No; it's the busy comer Who as his marks are scored Puts ginger in his business And reaps his sure reward.
