    sings *"Right," said Fred, "Both of us together
    One on each end and steady as we go."
    Tried to shift it, couldn't even lift it
    We was getting nowhere
    And so we had a cuppa tea and

    "Right," said Fred, "Give a shout for Charlie."
    Up comes Charlie from the floor below.
    After strainin', heavin' and complainin'
    We was getting nowhere
    And so we had a cuppa tea.

    And Charlie had a think, and he thought we ought to take off all the handles
    And the things wot held the candles.
    But it did no good, well I never thought it would
    "All right," said Fred, "Have to take the feet off
    To get them feet off wouldn't take a mo."

    Took its feet off, even took the seat off
    Should have got us somewhere but no!
    So Fred said, "Let's have a cuppa tea."
    And we said, "right-o."

    "Right," said Fred, "Have to take the door off
    Need more space to shift the so-and-so."
    Had bad twinges taking off the hinges
    And it got us nowhere
    And so we had a cuppa tea and

    "Right," said Fred, " Have to take the wall down,
    That there wall is gonna have to go."
    Took the wall down, even with it all down
    We was getting nowhere
    And so we had a cuppa tea.

    And Charlie had a think, and he said, "Look, Fred,
    I get a sort of feelin'
    If we remove the ceilin'
    With a rope or two we could drop the blighter through."

    "All right," said Fred, climbing up a ladder
    With his crowbar gave a mighty blow.
    Was he in trouble, half a ton of rubble landed on the top of his dome.
    So Charlie and me had another cuppa tea
    And then we went home.

    (I said to Charlie, "We'll just have to leave it
    Standing on the landing, that's all
    Trouble with Fred is, he's too hasty
    Never get nowhere if you're too hasty.")

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
