God Bless The Other 99 (Barry And Company)
Lyricist:Ken Welch, Marilyn Welch
Well, I may have imagined singing back then But you know when I actually got into the music business It wasn't as a singer at all, it was as an accompanist
I started out playing for auditions And from where I sat I learned alot Because only one out of a hundred Ever got the job they were auditioning for Really, one out of a hundred but that didn't stop the rest, no sir
I learned more from failure than I learned from success I learned from no thank you, so much more than from yes I learned to be willing to lead with my chin And if I were willing to lose, I could win
I learned from the losers who got right back in line The dimmer their future, than the brighter they'd shine Three cheers for the one, the one in a hundred But God bless the other 99
Those courageous people changed my life They taught me that you can give in You can give out, but you don't give up
I learned more from failure than I learned from success I learned from no thank you, so much more than from yes I learned to be willing to lead with my chin And if I were willing to lose, I could win
Everything's coming up roses, 'Thank you' Everything's coming up roses, 'Thank you' Everything's coming up roses for me and for Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 'Thank you, next'
I learned from the losers who got right back in line (Kiss the day goodbye) The dimmer their future, than the brighter they'd shine (And point me towards tomorrow) Three cheers for the one, the one in a hundred But God bless, God bless
All of us up here on this stage tonight are here Because of the courage that we learned from the other 99 We'll be forever grateful
Right Billy? Right, I learned more from failure than I learned from success How about you Vanessa? I learned from no thank you so much more than from yes
And you Debra? I learned to be willing to lead with my chin Dana, Terry, everybody And if we were willing to lose, we could win
We learned from the losers who got right back in line The dimmer their future, than the brighter they'd shine Three cheers for the one, the one in a hundred But God bless, upfront we were always meant to be
God bless, there for all the world to see God bless, 'Thank you', no, thank you The other 99
