Control yourself, contain yourself
Restrict yourself, restrain yourself
And always let tranquility be your goal
Control yourself, contain yourself
And if you can't, explain yourself
And try to act agreeably on the whole
Life is far too short to spend it in a huff
Try to be the sort of guy who laughs
When things get rough
Control yourself, contain yourself
You can and still remain yourself
If you will let serenity in your soul
You must contain yourself
Restrain yourself
And train yourself, to gain yourself control
Control yourself, contain yourself
Restrict yourself, restrain yourself
And always let tranquility be your goal
Control yourself, contain yourself
And if you can't, refrain yourself
And try to act agreeably on the whole
Life is just too great to waste it being sad
Try to imitate the guy who grins
When things walk back
Control yourself, contain yourself
And soon you won't, complain yourself
If you will let serenity in your soul
You must contain yourself
Restrain yourself
And train yourself to gain yourself control
