It's no crime to eat humility pie
To love your neighbor and get socked in the eye
Even Cagney knew when he needed a hand
Sometimes you do the best you can.
There'll be days of silver and evenings of lead
When you're lovin' you're livin' or you're wishin' for dead
You gotta sit down, partner, til you're ready to stand
Sometimes you do the best you can.
