Follow, but don't


Never, he said, go along with a speeder

Hold your ground!

Be a leader

Follow the speeder and you will be bound

You'll be speedier, speedier, speedier and faster

You'll fail the whole orchestra

Adhere to the exactly written out formula

 

Then

 

Always he said go along with the orchestra

If your sections starts speeding just follow the flow

Don't put your foot down, just say kumbaya

Act like a pro, if they go let them go

If they speed let them speed

Go along with their creed and let the speediness breed

 

Dear teacher of mine

Please make up your mind

Should we hold our ground

Or put our feet down

Your sense is not sound

You have such renown

So don't act like a clown
